SAN ANTONIO – No major injuries were reported after a multi-vehicle crash on Highway 90 early Tuesday caused an hourlong-plus closure, according to San Antonio police.
An SAPD preliminary report said the crash happened around 7:15 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of the highway, near JBSA-Lackland and the Loop 410 interchange.
However, the Texas Department of Transportation’s Transguide page showed the highway closed before 6 a.m.
Transguide also showed an accident in the westbound lanes, though SAPD did not have details on the crash.
According to police, a vehicle traveling east on Highway 90 “brake-checked” a second vehicle, causing a rear-end collision. Both vehicles began moving toward the right-hand lanes.
As both vehicles moved, the second vehicle side-swiped a third vehicle, which then caused a fourth vehicle to crash.
The fourth vehicle crashed into a guardrail and knocked down a light pole onto the highway, police said.
The report said minor injuries were reported, but none were life-threatening.
Viewer video sent to KSAT shows the aftermath of the crash, with multiple cars stopped and the pole strewn across part of the road as crews pass by.
KSAT reached out to TxDOT for information, but was referred to law enforcement for comment.
The highway was closed for at least an hour and a half on Tuesday morning, but has since reopened.
SAPD said its investigation is ongoing.
