Traffic Troubles in San Antonio: Multiple Crashes Disrupt Morning Commute

Traffic Troubles in San Antonio: A Rough Commute on October 15

Good morning, San Antonio! If you’re headed out the door today, you might want to pack your patience — it’s going to be a bumpy ride for many drivers across town. After the holiday weekend, the roads are buzzing with activity once again, but unfortunately, that comes with its fair share of traffic incidents. Let’s dive into what’s been happening.

Crash on I-10 in Far East Bexar County

Just after 6:30 a.m. this morning, a significant crash was reported off I-10 near Pfeil Road in Far East Bexar County. This incident appears to involve an 18-wheeler, which may have even caught fire. Yikes! According to the Texas Department of Transportation, at least two lanes on the eastbound side of I-10 are blocked as a result. This has led to a chain reaction of traffic woes, with backups extending all the way to Loop 1604.

If you’re navigating through this area, be prepared for some serious delays. Some motorists are barely moving, with speeds dropping to a crawl of about 1 mile per hour! Currently, it’s still unclear if anyone was injured in this crash, or if other vehicles were involved. Fingers crossed that everyone is okay.

Another Incident on I-10

But wait, there’s more. Just a bit later, around 7:20 a.m., another crash was reported on I-10, this time near Fresno. So it seems the morning commute is less than pleasant for those in the area. TxDOT has indicated that at least two eastbound lanes are blocked again. The San Antonio Police Department is already on-site, as shown in some traffic camera images.

Once again, drivers are faced with slow-moving traffic, inching along at a painful 10 miles per hour. Let’s just hope this isn’t going to become a new morning routine!

A Not-So-Great Trend

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen trouble on the roads recently. Just yesterday, on October 14, there was another major incident involving an 18-wheeler and a sedan that caused significant disruptions on Loop 410. The San Antonio Fire Department had to come out, and it took several hours before crews could clear the scene. It seems like we’re having a bit of a trend here, and it’s certainly a headache for commuters.
