The officer said the crash happened after a Kia 'coming in off of Sherwood Way' attempting to make a left turn 'turned in front of' a Ford Mustang driving toward the nearby H-E-B grocery store.
The officer stated that no serious injuries were reported. However, the driver of the Kia was transported to the hospital as a precautionary measure.
The officer also said that, although the crash was caused by a failure to yield right-of-way, no citation will be issued as the incident occurred on private property rather than a public roadway.

Kia's Sales Continue to Explode—Except In One Category
Kia just posted its best first half of sales ever , and that momentum continues into July. The automaker sold 71,123 cars last month, up 12 percent compared to July 2024. Kia has sold 487,634 vehicles through July. That's 37,000 more than it sold in the first seven months of 2024. Eric Watson, Kia America's vice president of sales operations, said the brand 'is steadily progressing toward its highest annual sales record and an all-time high market share, fueled by record-breaking consumer sales growth.' Kia's Best-Sellers The Sportage remains the brand's best-selling model, with the budget-friendly K4 coming in second. The pair sold 14,392 and 11,188 examples, respectively, last month. The Telluride was a close third at 10,411, with the Sorento and Carnival rounding out the top five. Sales for those models were all up in July. Model July 2025 July 2024 Difference Sportage 14,392 12,628 13.9% K4/Forte 11,188 10,448 7.0% Telluride 10,411 9,082 14.6% Sorento 7,965 7,206 10.5% Carnival 5,982 4,557 31.3% K5 5,879 4,713 24.7% Seltos 4,917 5,481 -10.3% Soul 4,665 3,428 36.1% Niro 2,751 2,674 2.9% EV9 1,737 1,815 -4.3% EV6 1,290 1,547 -16.6% Total 71,123 63,580 13.4% Other strong performers included the Soul , up 36 percent, the Carnival , up 31 percent, and the K5 , up 25 percent. However, a few saw them dip, like the Seltos . Some Kia Models Saw Sales Dip Sales for the compact crossover dropped from 5,481 in 2024 to 4,917 last month, and they're down for the year. But they also could rebound before the end of the year. Kia recently made the compact crossover $1,000 cheaper for 2026 by offering a new entry-level front-wheel-drive trim, which could broaden its appeal as more consumers seek affordable options. 2026 Kia Seltos Photo by: Kia Kia's two EVs also saw their sales fall last month, with the automaker selling 1,737 EV9s and 1,290 EV6s. That's compared to the 1,815 and 1,547 sold in July 2024. Sales for the pair are also down for the year by a substantial amount. Kia had sold 12,488 EV6s by this time last year. It's sold just 7,165 units so far in 2025. The EV9 has dwindled from 11,486 units to 6,675, but like the Seltos, Kia has adjusted the EV9's price for 2026 . Kia's Sales Future Kia certainly wants to finish the year strong, with the potential of being its best ever. However, the United States and South Korea recently agreed to a new trade deal that lowered the threat of auto tariffs from 25 percent to 15 percent. That's the same rate applied to imported vehicles from Europe and Japan, so it'll be interesting to watch how that affects the industry going forward.

The 2026 Kia Sportage Gets a Baby Telluride Makeover—with No Big Price Hike
The Kia Sportage compact SUV gets a blocky, toughened-up exterior refresh (and new interior tech) for 2026 and the big news is that, well, it looks less different than before. Introduced for the 2023 model year, this generation Sportage previously wore a somewhat adventurous front-end design with what was best described as otherworldly vibes. It was striking, to be sure, but for the 2026 Sportage, Kia's stylists have reworked its front end for a more rectilinear appearance in line with the brand's hugely popular Telluride three-row and one-size-up Sorento SUVs. Inside, the Sportage gains Kia's latest touchscreen and digital gauge cluster tech, boasting faster processing and snappier graphics than before. And surprise of all surprises, none of these fairly involved changes result in big price increases across the Sportage lineup. The 2026 Kia Sportage features a revamped exterior similar to the Telluride, updated interior tech, and minimal price hikes. It retains three powertrains and introduces new trims, including the Hybrid S. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article. Read Next Partly, that's because mechanically, the Sportage is much the same as last year. There are three powertrains on offer: A gas-powered Sportage with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and front- or all-wheel drive; a Sportage Hybrid, powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder with electric assist making 281 hp; and the Sportage Plug-In Hybrid with the same electrified turbo setup albeit with a bigger battery for an estimated 34 miles of EV-only range and more muscular 268 hp total. The trim level structure similarly carries over, with a few exceptions. Last year's LX, EX, X-Line, and SX models are joined by a new Hybrid S trim and the X-Pro with a vaguely more off-road-ish appearance than other Sportages. The new 2026 Kia Sportages are out now, and as before, standard equipment is generous. The entry-level Sportage LX comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, proximity key entry, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and those new dual 12.3-inch dashboard displays. EX models upgrade to standard blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a power driver's seat, faux leather seating upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, a wireless phone charger, and a power liftgate. Sportage X-Line models get mostly blacked-out trim and wheels and similar equipment to the EX, while the SX adds Kia's Highway Driving Assist feature, a panoramic sunroof, and navigation standard. As its name implies, the SX Prestige is even nicer, adding in standard heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a 360-degree parking camera, blind-spot cameras, and a Harmon Kardon audio system. Finally, the X-Pro Prestige blends the SX Prestige's features with a heated windshield and all-terrain tires, along with a generally more off-road-y vibe. Those trim level distinctions largely carry over to the equivalent Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid Sportage models. While the upper-level Hybrid and PHEV versions are pricey for the segment (nearly fifty grand for a Sportage!?), the meat of the lineup is priced competitively, with the EX, X-Line, and SX Prestige variants falling well within the ordinary range among competitors such as the Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Chevrolet Equinox, and others. Below is the pricing for the 2026 Sportage lineup, and how much pricing has risen over the 2025 models. 2026 Kia Sportage Full Lineup Pricing

Over 100,000 Kia vehicles recalled. See impacted models.
Kia has recalled more than 100,000 cars after discovering the vehicles' rear window trim pieces may loosen and detach. The recall applies to certain Kia K5 cars in the model years 2023-2025, according to a recall notice posted on July 28 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The vehicles' left and right rear window trim pieces may loosen and detach, creating a road hazard for other vehicles and increasing the risk of a crash, according to the recall notice. The issue can be remedied with the installment of a replacement garnish that can be fastened to the base, according to the recall notice. Here's what to know. Which Kia vehicles are being recalled? The recall applies to about 100,000 Kia K5 cars in the model years 2023-2025, according to the recall notice. Owners will be notified via letters that are expected to be mailed Sept. 26. Customers can also contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542 and mention the number for this recall, SC346. What to do if your car has been recalled Owners with impacted vehicles should bring their car to a Kia dealer, who will replace the affected C-pillar garnish with one that is retained to the base of the car. The replacement will be made free of charge. How to check if your car has been recalled The latest status on recalls of vehicles, car parts or car accessories can be checked using the NHTSA recall database or USA TODAY's car and motor vehicle recall database.
