Leticia Van de Putte moved to San Antonio hospital, remains in ICU
Former Texas state senator Leticia Van de Putte spoke at a tribute honoring former San Antonio Mayor Lila Cockrell in 2019. Van de Putte, 67, was seriously injured when she was hit by a car in Florida earlier this week and has been moved to San Antonio’s University Hospital, where she is in the intensive care unit. Hospital officials reported she is in good condition.
The family also expressed thanks for what they described as “the great care” she received from an HCA Florida hospital. The impact threw her 10 to 15 feet in the air, according to what her husband overheard from an officer investigating the accident. The couple had just sailed on a cruise, then went to the Orlando airport last weekend to fly home to San Antonio. But their flight — and hundreds of others — were canceled that weekend due to bad weather and technological problems. So they decided to stay at a hotel in the Orlando area until they could secure plane tickets to return home.
