SAN ANTONIO — A major accident on the city's northwest side had I-10 closed in both directions for a few hours while officials worked to investigate and clear the crash.
It happened around 3 a.m. Monday on I-10 at De Zavala Rd. Police say a driver speeding down Hausman Rd jumped the highway and rolled across the eastbound lanes, over the center median before crashing on the westbound lanes.
The driver was rescued by firefighters and police and taken to University Hospital in critical condition.
The debris from the crash caused officials to close down the highway while they worked to clear it.
Traffic was forced onto the frontage road for a few hours, then re-opened in both directions around 6 a.m.
