SAN ANTONIO — One person is dead and another was hospitalized early Friday after a wrong-way crash on a northeast-side highway, according to the San Antonio Police Department.
SAPD said officers were called to the 4400 block of I-35 Northbound around 4:15 a.m. for a major crash involving multiple vehicles.
Investigators said a man believed to be between 30 and 40 years old was driving southbound in the northbound lanes when he collided head-on with a vehicle driven by a 62-year-old man. The suspect’s vehicle went airborne after the initial impact and then struck an 18-wheeler, according to police.
The wrong-way driver was pronounced dead at the scene, SAPD said. The 62-year-old man was taken to a local hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
SAPD said the driver of the 18-wheeler was not injured.
The names of those involved have not been released. SAPD said the investigation remains ongoing and additional information may be released as it becomes available.
