SAN ANTONIO — A man was killed Tuesday morning after the car he was riding in turned left in front of an 18-wheeler truck on the far west side of San Antonio.
Bexar County Sheriff's deputies responded to the deadly crash on Talley Rd. at Culebra around 9:13 a.m.
When first responders arrived at the location, witnesses told them the driver of the KIA SUV that was traveling westbound on Culebra attempted to turn left on Talley Rd on a yellow turn arrow, and was T-boned by an 18-wheeler truck that was unable to avoid the collision. The KIA was struck on the passenger side, killing the 41-year-old man inside.
He was later identified as Nicholas Pimentel.
The 17-year-old girl who was driving the KIA was taken to University Hospital with unknown injuries.
Traffic on Culebra Rd. was being re-routed while deputies investigated the crash and worked to clear the scene.
