SAN ANTONIO – A 40-year-old man was killed in a rollover crash Wednesday on the city's Northwest Side that brought morning commute traffic on Interstate 10 East to a crawl for miles.
Police said Robert Perryman was involved in a fender bender on Interstate 10 and Loop 1604 around 6 a.m., when he sped from the scene on the frontage road of I-10 until he crashed his 1996 Mercury Marquis near DeZavala Road.

Traffic on Interstate 10 East from Camp Bullis to DeZavala roads was brought to a standstill for several hours.
