A fatal collision on Interstate 37 in Atascosa County has resulted in one woman's death and subsequent injuries to two men, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. The accident, involving a rollover of a pickup truck, took place just after 11 a.m. yesterday near mile marker 107. The scene of the tragedy is located east of downtown Pleasanton, adjacent to the Atascosa River, as detailed by KSAT.
Traffic along the stretch of Interstate 37 northbound was expected to be halted for several hours as authorities conducted their inquiry into the mishap. Captured in photos by KSAT's Devan Karp, the involved vehicle, appearing to be a Chevrolet Silverado, ended its tumultuous journey on a deserted railroad track. Rushed to University Hospital, the condition of the two men has not been released at the moment the report was given.
KENS 5 added that the unidentified woman was pronounced dead at the location of the crash itself. This incident led to significant delays and obstructed the flow of traffic on the highway as DPS troopers signaled the start of their investigation just after receiving reports of the incident at around 11:05 a.m.
DPS and Atascosa County sheriff’s deputies remain at the forefront of dissecting the cause of the crash with the aid of troopers who are piecing together the preliminary details of the rollover. As reported by KENS 5, the vehicle was traveling northward when it departed the paved roadway and succumbed to its grave rollover. Ongoing efforts to unravel the circumstances that led to this mournful event persist, with officials advising that updates will follow as they surface.
