Westbound lanes near Palo Alto College have reopened

SAN ANTONIOEditor’s note: San Antonio police previously said the driver of the GMC was killed in the crash. On Saturday, police issued a correction and said a passenger in the GMC was killed, not the driver, and another passenger was hospitalized.

A 23-year-old man was killed and another man was hospitalized after a rollover crash on Loop 410 on the Southwest Side on Friday morning.

San Antonio police said the crash happened at 5 a.m. on the westbound lanes of the highway near Palo Alto Road, not far from Somerset Road and Palo Alto College.

A green GMC Denali was traveling westbound when it struck a white Ford Mustang from behind, police said.

The impact caused the Denali to roll over.

A passenger in the GMC, the 23-year-old man, died from his injuries at the scene. Another passenger, a 20-year-old man, was ejected and taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.

The driver of the GMC, a 22-year-old man, was arrested at the scene for intoxication, SAPD said.

The westbound lanes of Loop 410 were closed after the wreck, but they have since reopened.

Police said the investigation is ongoing.
