Police investigating deadly crash after man hit by 18-wheeler

Emergency workers attempted life-saving measures but were unsuccessful and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

SAN ANTONIO — Police are investigating a deadly crash after a man was hit and killed by an 18-wheeler truck on the east side of town Tuesday night.

The fatal accident happened around 9:02 p.m. on Rigsby at Bermuda. Police arrived at the location and found a man of unknown age, unresponsive on the roadway.

Emergency workers attempted life-saving measures but were unsuccessful and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Some witnesses told police that an 18-wheeler struck the man, while another witness said that the man was already under the rig and was dragged to the intersection.

Police say there are obviously conflicting witness accounts, but a sergeant on scene says they are working to sort it out.

No other details were provided.
