Chaos took over the Fine Silver Curve earlier today when an 18-wheeler truck flipped on its side, causing major traffic headaches on the upper level of Interstate 10. The San Antonio Police Department raced to the scene at the intersection of I-35 South and I-10 West around 1:15 a.m. to reports of a big rig collision.
According to KENS5, the truck was attempting to navigate the notorious curve when it lost balance and toppled. Police swiftly instituted a shutdown of the upper level leading to the curve, an action that reverberated through the city's traffic flow for several hours. The disruption tangled up the morning rush, with commuters scrambling to find alternate routes.
The driver's condition following the accident was not immediately clear, and no word has surfaced about potential injuries or other vehicles caught up in the mishap. The incident effectively turn the bustling interstate into a parking lot, with no passage in sight for those caught behind the police barricades.
Authorities have not yet detailed the cause of the accident, nor have they confirmed when the upper level of I-10 reopened for traffic. Salvage crews worked against the clock to remove the wreckage and restore normalcy to the affected stretch of highway. Motorists were urged to exercise patience and seek alternate paths until the roadway was declared safe for travel.
