Authorities said the trailer was partially hanging over the bridge and one of the horses inside was ejected.
San Antonio Fire Department was called to assist and was able to retrieve the horse. However, the horse died at the scene.
No other injuries were reported.
The roadway was temporarily shut down but has since reopened to traffic.
