One person was killed Thursday morning after an SUV crashed into the rear of a parked 18-wheeler on southbound Interstate 35 near West Southcross Boulevard in San Antonio. According to the San Antonio Police Department, the crash occurred at approximately 6:11 a.m. Investigators said an 18-wheeler was parked on the right shoulder of southbound I-35 when a 2018 GMC Acadia left the travel lanes, veered onto the shoulder, and slammed into the rear of the commercial truck. Police said the driver of the GMC suffered catastrophic injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Due to the severity of the collision, authorities were initially unable to determine the driver's gender or publicly identify the victim. The driver of the 18-wheeler was not injured. Investigators are working to determine why the commercial truck was stopped on the shoulder. Police stated that the tractor-trailer was parked completely off the roadway, although it was positioned relatively close to the travel lanes. Authorities also reported there were no apparent skid marks or evidence that the GMC driver applied the brakes before impact. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. The collision forced the closure of the southbound lanes of Interstate 35 near West Southcross Boulevard for several hours while investigators processed the scene and crews removed the damaged vehicles. Collisions involving parked commercial trucks can present complex legal and factual issues. Investigators may examine why the truck was stopped, whether it was legally parked, whether required emergency warning devices were properly deployed, visibility conditions, lighting, driver fatigue, distraction, medical emergencies, or other contributing factors. Critical evidence may include the police crash report, electronic logging device (ELD) data, engine control module (ECM) information, dash-camera and onboard camera footage, driver qualification files, maintenance and inspection records, dispatch communications, GPS records, witness statements, photographs of the scene, and accident reconstruction evidence. Prompt preservation of this evidence is often essential to determining liability.

A major collision was reported on northbound Interstate 635 in Mesquite around 2:20 p.m. on August 6, 2026.

An 18-wheeler driver was arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated (DWI) after a commercial truck overturned in Lumberton, Texas, creating hazardous driving conditions and prompting an emergency response. According to authorities, the crash occurred on August 5, 2026, when the commercial truck overturned on the roadway. Emergency crews responded to secure the scene, assist the driver, and investigate the circumstances surrounding the rollover. During the investigation, law enforcement determined there was probable cause to arrest the driver for driving while intoxicated. Officials have not released additional information regarding injuries or whether any other vehicles were involved. The investigation remains ongoing. An arrest for DWI involving the operator of a commercial motor vehicle is particularly serious because commercial truck drivers are held to stricter alcohol limits under both Texas law and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. Commercial drivers are prohibited from operating a commercial vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.04% or greater, half the legal limit that generally applies to non-commercial motorists. Alcohol impairment significantly increases the risk of catastrophic crashes due to the size and weight of tractor-trailers. When an impaired commercial driver is involved in a crash, a prompt investigation is essential. Critical evidence may include toxicology results, the police crash report, body-camera and dash-camera footage, electronic logging device (ELD) data, engine control module (ECM) information, driver qualification and training records, maintenance and inspection records, dispatch communications, onboard camera footage, witness statements, and accident reconstruction evidence. Preserving this evidence quickly can be critical to determining liability.
