According to the Houston Chronicle and Houston TranStar, the crash happened around 11:59 p.m. Thursday and continued affecting traffic into Friday morning.

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.
