I-37 near Bexar, Atascosa county lines reopens after 18-wheeler crash prompts hours-long closure

Unclear how long closure will be in place for; crews could be seen clearing spilled contents from roadway

PLEASANTON, Texas – All of the northbound lanes of Interstate 37 in Atascosa County are open after an 18-wheeler crash spilled what is believed to be paleas onto the road, prompting closures for several hours.

The crash happened near where I-37 crosses FM 536 early Tuesday morning, according to Transguide. The crash was just south of the Bexar County line.

Texas Department of Public Safety Sergeant Deon Cockrell said the crash involved a second vehicle, though no injuries had been reported as of 8 a.m.

Around 6 a.m., a KSAT crew at the scene could see crews working to remove contents from the truck and the road.

Northbound traffic from Pleasanton was actively being diverted from the highway.

The highway had been closed for much of Tuesday morning but reopened around 9 a.m.
