A man was hit and killed by an 18-wheeler Friday morning along Interstate 35 on the South Side, San Antonio police said.
First responders were dispatched to the crash at approximately 4:30 a.m. on the northbound lanes of I-35 near Division Avenue.
According to SAPD, the driver of the 18-wheeler saw a man in his 30s jump onto the interstate and moved towards the incoming 18-wheeler with his hands in the air.
A preliminary report stated the driver attempted to avoid hitting the man on the road but was unable. Police later confirmed the man’s death at the scene.
The driver of the 18-wheeler, who remained at the scene, will not face any criminal charges, SAPD said.
The northbound lanes were closed, but they have since reopened, according to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
