Five people, including three children, died Sunday afternoon when a vehicle crashed near FM 725 and Interstate 10 in Seguin, according to police. The wreck shut down traffic in both directions near Love's Travel Stop as officers, firefighters and medics worked the scene just before 1 p.m.
What Police Have Said So Far
According to KENS 5, the Seguin Police Department responded to a single-vehicle crash Sunday afternoon that killed five people, including three children and two adults, per a police spokesperson. The outlet reported that a black Chevrolet Tahoe was traveling eastbound on I-10 when it left the roadway, went off a bridge and crashed onto FM 725 below. The Seguin Gazette separately confirmed that police are investigating a crash that killed five people on Sunday, with the newspaper's headline describing the location as an I-10 bridge.
Seguin Police Community Engagement Officer Stephanie Larrimore told the Gazette that the single-vehicle wreck occurred just before 1 p.m. on FM 725 at Interstate 10. The Gazette also shared the news on social media, posting on X that officers were investigating the deadly crash at that same intersection.
Roadway Closed as Crews Responded
Per KENS 5's reporting, the police department closed traffic in both directions near FM 725 and I-10 by Love's Travel Stop, according to a post on the department's Facebook page. Officers urged motorists to avoid the area, use alternate routes and allow extra travel time, and asked drivers to use caution and allow first responders to work safely.
As of the station's report, police had not identified the crash victims, and investigators had not shared why they believe the Tahoe left the roadway. Those details remain unknown.
A Stretch of Highway With a Grim History
The FM 725 and I-10 corridor has seen serious wrecks before. Months earlier, a crash happened just after noon on a Wednesday on westbound I-10 near FM 725, involving a pickup and an 18-wheeler, according to FOX San Antonio. That crash caused the pickup to catch fire, and the station reported that several good Samaritans stepped in to help before officers arrived.
Elsewhere along I-10 near Seguin, a box truck and two sedans collided on Oct. 22, 2025, at the interchange with State Highway 123, killing a 63-year-old man after the box truck landed on top of his vehicle, according to KSAT. Police said that crash was reported just after 6:30 a.m., and the intersection was temporarily closed until officers cleared the scene. Nearly a decade before that, a head-on collision on the FM 464 bridge at Interstate 10 killed three people on Sept. 30, 2017, the Seguin Gazette reported at the time.
No further details on Sunday's crash, including the victims' identities or what led the Tahoe off the roadway, had been released as of the latest reporting.
