SAN ANTONIO ā The driver of an 18-wheeler who fatally crashed at the intersection of Loop 1604 and Interstate 37 last week has been identified by the Bexar County Medical Examinerās Office.
Robert Moore, 53, of San Antonio, was pronounced dead at the site of the fiery crash, which happened Thursday night.
Police said Moore was driving an 18-wheeler that was carrying molasses and heading into San Antonio via the northbound lanes of I-37 in South Bexar County.
The trailer and the tractor then separated, and the trailer ruptured, spilling molasses onto Loop 1604, police said.
SAPD said a Dodge Caravan heading westbound on Loop 1604 was struck by either the truck or the trailer.
