A tragic high-speed crash on Highway 90 claimed the life of a 29-year-old woman and left another man with serious injuries. The incident occurred just before 12:30 a.m. along U.S. Highway 90 near Southwest 36th Street on the West Side of the city. Witnesses described a scene of chaos after a speeding vehicle lost control, setting off a devastating chain-reaction accident involving multiple vehicles, as reported by KENS5.
Eastbound traffic was brought to a halt yesterday morning as the highway became the site of mangled motorcycles and strewn debris. According to preliminary reports, the vehicle that initiated the terrifying sequence of events was traveling eastbound when it spun out of control and collided with another vehicle. This impact was powerful enough to quickly involve other drivers in the vicinity, forcing local authorities to shut down the affected lanes as they attended the emergency. The 29-year-old motorcyclist, tragically unable to safely stop, crashed into the chain reaction and was pronounced dead at the scene, as noted by News 4 San Antonio.
The aftermath of the crash also saw another motorcyclist struck and injured, suffering a broken arm from the incident. While emergency services swiftly responded to the horrifying scene, some individuals involved fled. Eye-witnesses later told investigators they saw a man and a woman abandoning the suspect vehicle and fleeing on foot. Both suspects were subsequently located by the authorities, who detained them for questioning before releasing them, pending further investigation into the deadly sequence of events.
