SAN ANTONIO – A major crash involving multiple vehicles has shut down lanes along Interstate 35 on the city’s South Side early Saturday morning.
The crash happened around 6 a.m. in the 9000 block of IH-35 Southbound, near the Cassin Road bridge.
Authorities say a Ford F-150 traveling southbound at a high rate of speed rear-ended a Toyota Tacoma, pushing it into a grassy median and onto an access road. The pickup then struck a metal barrier on the bridge, blocking two lanes of traffic.
Moments later, a semi-truck crashed into the back of the Ford F-150, further compounding the scene.
The driver of the Ford F-150 left the area before emergency crews arrived.
Two passengers from the pickup, a 25-year-old man and a 17-year-old, along with the 37-year-old driver of the Tacoma, were taken to a nearby hospital.
