A man has died after San Antonio police say he crashed his car into the back of a gooseneck trailer on Interstate 35 on the Northeast Side.
The crash happened just after 3 a.m. on Friday on the northbound I-35 lanes between Eisenhauer Road and Walzem Road.
Police said the man was driving a Hyundai Sonata in excess of the speed limit and crashed into the back of a loaded trailer.
Paramedics arrived and performed life-saving measures on the man, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said he was not wearing a seatbelt, and it didn’t appear he braked before impact.
The man’s age and name have not been released.
The trailer was being towed by a Ford F-250 at the time, and that driver was not injured.
Police said the truck’s driver was not intoxicated and stayed at the scene.
A portion of I-35 northbound between Eisenhauer and Walzem roads was closed as authorities investigated the crash. The lanes have since reopened.
