I-35 Southbound Shut for Hours After 18-Wheeler Rollover as Separate Crash Closed Loop 410 Exit

Police say a blown tire caused the I-35 crash, with no injuries reported.

Overview

  • Southbound I-35 on San Antonio’s Southwest Side is closed from the Somerset Road exit to near the Loop 410 interchange after an overnight rollover.
  • San Antonio police said the crash happened just before 1:30 a.m. at I-35 and Leon Creek near New Laredo Highway, and the closure is expected to last several hours.
  • Traffic was bumper-to-bumper around 7:30 a.m. on the frontage road at the Leon Creek exit, and authorities urged drivers to expect major delays.
  • KSAT reported the 18-wheeler’s tire blew out, the northbound driver lost control and struck an overhead sign, and no injuries have been reported.
  • On Wednesday, a separate rollover shut the Loop 410 southbound exit to I-37 on the Southeast Side, and TxDOT advised drivers to use alternate routes as investigators continue to determine what led to that crash.
