San Antonio, TX (April 15, 2022) – A truck accident reported in the San Antonio area has claimed one man’s life. At around 5 p.m., on April 13, emergency crews were dispatched to the scene of an auto accident on Interstate 10.

Reports provided by the San Antonio Police Department show that an 18-wheeler gravel hauler was traveling north on Interstate 10. As the vehicle approached the 11900 block of the interstate, it had a blowout. The tire blowout caused the truck to swerve to the left and strike a Toyota Corolla and a Jeep Latitude near De Zavala Road.

The impact of the crash caused the Toyota to crash into a concrete barrier and strike a metal pillar.

The driver of the Toyota was rushed to an area hospital where he later died.

The driver of the Jeep was transported to an area hospital for care.

At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the victim injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who lost their life in this accident. Our thoughts are with them at this time.

Fatal Truck Accidents in Texas

The loss of a loved one is one of the most challenging things we will ever have to deal with during our lifetime. Each year, traffic-related incidents claim the lives of over 3,900 people in the state of Texas. Truck accidents claim the lives of more than 500 of these victims. In many instances, victims end up losing their lives in accidents caused by the negligent and reckless actions of others.

After enduring the loss of a loved one, most families struggle to move forward. Overcoming the mental and emotional pain and suffering seem nearly impossible.
