I-35 on Southwest Side reopens after hours-long closure following 18-wheeler crash, SAPD says

SAN ANTONIO – The southbound lanes of Interstate 35 on the Southwest Side were closed for several hours after a crash involving an 18-wheeler, according to San Antonio police.

Officers were dispatched to the crash just before 1:30 a.m. Thursday at I-35 and Leon Creek, which is located near New Laredo Highway.

SAPD said a tire blew out on the 18-wheeler, which caused the driver to lose control and crash into an overhead sign.

The driver was heading northbound on the highway when the crash occurred.

Texas Department of Transportation officials were on the scene. The highway was closed for at least three hours.

No injuries have been reported.
