SAN ANTONIO — A serious traffic incident on Loop 410 today has snarled traffic and prompted an urgent response from emergency services. Multiple lanes of the major San Antonio freeway remain closed following a crash reported late this afternoon, causing significant delays for commuters during peak travel hours.
According to authorities, the collision occurred near the interchange with State Highway 151 on the city’s West Side. The Texas Department of Transportation confirmed that several lanes were shuttered as first responders worked the scene and directed traffic away from the impacted stretches of road.
In a related and potentially tragic development, San Antonio Fire Department officials say a pedestrian involved in a separate but nearby incident on Loop 410 near Marbach Road was struck by a vehicle. Fire and police personnel are on site, and the individual is reported to be possibly deceased, underscoring the severity of today’s chain-reaction events on the busy highway.
Just days ago, another fatality was recorded along the same corridor when a 44-year-old man died after jumping from a moving vehicle and being struck by a passing car. While that incident occurred in a different section of Loop 410, it highlights ongoing safety concerns for drivers and pedestrians alike on this stretch of roadway.
Local law enforcement continues to investigate the crashes, and motorists are advised to seek alternate routes and allow extra travel time as cleanup and accident reconstruction efforts remain underway. Further updates are expected as authorities release more details.
