A somber mood looms over San Marcos as the community reels from a deadly incident that halted the heartbeat of Interstate 35 on Saturday evening. CBS Austin reported that the San Marcos Police Department responded to a tragic accident in the northbound lanes near Highway 80, an area often bustling with traffic.
First responders were on the scene at 7:18 p.m., diligently working through the chaos to clear the area. As they strived to carefully unravel the story of the crash, two lanes were forcibly shut, causing heavy delays that snaked their way back through the arteries of a city trying to make sense of another loss endured on asphalt.
CBS Austin reached out to the department for more details, yet the story of who and why still hung in the balance at the time. Meanwhile, the lanes reopened a few hours later, restoring a semblance of normalcy after crews swept away the remnants of the collision.
Amid this chaos, the San Marcos Police Department took to social media, urging travelers to seek alternate paths around the snare of flashing lights and the slow procession of investigation. Through a Facebook post, they advised to exit at McCarty Lane and to take Loop 110 around Highway 80 to rejoin the I-35.
