Lanes of Loop 410 on East Side reopen after morning crash; driver taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries

Lanes were blocked at East Houston Street for several hours Wednesday morning

SAN ANTONIO – The northbound lanes of Loop 410 on the East Side near the Interstate 10 interchange are open after a morning crash prompted closures for several hours.

Transguide cameras showed traffic being diverted off the highway onto East Houston Street as crews worked the scene around 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The crash happened along Loop 410 near the East Houston Street exit.

According to police at the scene, a car was stopped in the middle of the road and was eventually hit by a semi-truck.

The woman inside the car, believed to be in her 20s, was unresponsive after she was extracted from her vehicle. She was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.

The driver of the truck cooperated with police; however, they later said the driver had been taken to the hospital.

The highway closure was prompted due to fuel that was leaking as a result of the crash, police said in an email.

Traffic from the crash was backed up for miles as far as Rigsby Avenue and South WW White but seemed to be clearing around 9:15 a.m.
