CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A man died Monday morning after his car went off Interstate 37 and crashed into another vehicle at a gas station in Corpus Christi, according to police.
Corpus Christi police said the call came in at 6:26 a.m. in the 9400 block of Up River Road, near I-37.

Police initially reported that the car had crashed into a gas pump at the Circle K. However, investigators later clarified that the driver struck another vehicle parked at a gas pump, not the pump itself.
A white Toyota Camry with visible damage to its rear passenger side was seen near a semi-truck at the crash scene. Authorities have not released the identity of the man who died or said what caused his vehicle to leave the highway.
I-37 has since reopened to traffic, but the southbound Rand Morgan Road exit ramp remains closed as investigators continue their work.
Drivers are urged to use caution in the area and find alternate routes.
