SAN ANTONIO – An 18-wheeler carrying glass lost part of its load on the highway early Tuesday morning.
The accident occurred around 8 a.m. near Interstate 35 near O’Connor Road.
According to San Antonio Police Department spokesperson Doug Greene, the 18-wheeler was headed southbound and was likely hit from behind. A few hundred pounds of glass fell from the truck directly onto the roadway.
Police said they are now working the case as a hit-and-run.
Greene said there were no injuries in the accident and that a clean up crew is on the way.
As a result, there have been traffic slowdowns in the area. Police advise using an alternate route if possible.
