SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS - Two people, both in their 80s, were killed in a single-car accident at Highway 151 and Loop 1604 on the city’s far West Side.
The crash occurred just before 7 p.m. Sunday.
Police said the driver of a green SUV was traveling from westbound 151 onto northbound 1604 when he crossed all four lanes of the loop and crashed into the concrete barrier of the southbound lanes.
One person on a motorcycle was clipped by debris and treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Witnesses told police the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed and did not appear to slowdown before the accident.
The north and southbound lanes of 1604 were shutdown for several hours while police investigated the accident.
Police do not believe alcohol was involved.
Construction is taking place in the area as TxDOT adds direct connector lanes between the two roads.
The identity of the victims was not released, but police said the driver was a man and his passenger was a woman.
