ORIGINAL: A person was killed in an 18-wheeler crash early Tuesday morning on the Northeast Side, according to the San Antonio Fire Department.

The incident occurred just before 4:15 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of Loop 410 between the I-35 interchange and Starcrest Drive.

SAFD believes the driver lost control of the vehicle prior to the crash, but was unsure of the specific cause.

A preliminary report from SAPD said the 18-wheeler struck a concrete barrier and several road signs before coming to a stop in the road. The driver of the 18-wheeler was killed in the crash, fire officials said.

Fire crews did have to put out a fire as a result of the crash, SAFD said.

SAFD hazmat crews were managing spilled diesel and oil from the crash, officials said.

The vehicle was the only one involved, SAFD said.

San Antonio police and the San Antonio Fire Department responded to the scene.

As a result, the crash prompted road closures in the east and westbound lanes of Loop 410 between the I-35 interchange and Starcrest Drive.
