In a severe car crash this morning, a man driving near Highway 90 lost control of his vehicle and rolled over onto railway tracks. The accident took place around 8:30 a.m. at the intersection of Highway 90 and General Hudnell on the West Side.
San Antonio Police Department reports that the 29-year-old driver was seen swerving through the lanes before approaching the curve near the accident site. Instead of turning with the curve, authorities say the man lost control of his vehicle, which in turn rolled over and landed onto the adjacent rail tracks.
After the crash, the man had to be extracted from the vehicle by rescue teams. He was immediately rushed to a hospital nearby with serious injuries. Further information about his current health status has not been released.
The authorities have not yet confirmed if the driver was under the influence of any substances at the time of the incident. No charges have been made, and the investigation is still ongoing.
The crash was a lone event, with no other vehicles involved. Fortunately, no trains were traveling on the tracks at the time. If there had been, the situation could have been far more catastrophic.
The crash site has been cordoned off by the police as they conduct their investigation. They are currently looking into the circumstances that led to the accident. While no charges are pending at this time, that could change depending upon the results of the investigation.
The accident has caused moderate disruptions in traffic management around the affected area. Drivers are advised to seek alternative routes for the next few hours until regular traffic flow resumes. The current weather conditions appear not to have played a role in this incident, based on the preliminary report.
The police and road administration are striving to keep the highways safe for everyone. They remind drivers to remain vigilant and maintain safe speeds, especially on curvy road sections. They emphasize the need to stay within designated lanes and adhere to basic rules of road safety, to avoid tragic accidents such as this one.
