Big Rig Accident
An 18-wheeler hauling newspapers crashed into a used car lot early Monday in the Medical Center area.
Police said the big rig was headed west on Huebner Road at 3 a.m. when it tried to avoid hitting a BMW that was headed in its direction.
The San Antonio News stated, the truck hit the driver's side of the car and the trailer's load lifted, which tipped the rig on its side. It then slid into a used car lot and hit three vehicles in the 9000 block of Huebner Road.
The driver of the BMW had to be cut of the car and was taken to University Hospital in critical condition. The driver of the big rig was not hurt.
Huebner Road from Babcock Road To Floyd Curl Drive was expected to be closed at least through 7 a.m. while crews cleaned up the crash.
