SAN ANTONIO, Bexar County, Texas, Nov. 11, 2026 — A chain-reaction crash involving five vehicles sent one car off the road and into a building on Tuesday evening, November 10, along Northwest Loop 410 in San Antonio. San Antonio police said the driver of that vehicle suffered only minor injuries.
The crash happened around 5:30 p.m. on Northwest Loop 410 near Ingram Road on the city's West Side. The police said a 29-year-old man driving westbound struck the back of a vehicle driven by a 22-year-old man. The 29-year-old then tried to change lanes but reportedly lost control, hitting a third vehicle driven by a 42-year-old man.
That second impact sent the third car spinning, and it struck two more vehicles driven by men ages 26 and 57, investigators said. The 29-year-old's car left the roadway and came to a stop after hitting a nearby building. He suffered minor injuries. No other injuries were reported among the drivers involved.
The account from San Antonio police differs from initial information released by the San Antonio Fire Department, which had said one person was taken to a hospital in critical condition. The crash remains under investigation.
We hope everyone who was hurt makes a full and speedy recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does fog or low visibility make multi-vehicle pile-ups more likely?
Reduced visibility cuts the time drivers have to react to slowing or stopped traffic ahead, which can turn a single crash into a chain-reaction involving several vehicles.
Why does following distance matter so much in traffic like this?
A longer gap between vehicles gives drivers more time to brake or steer away safely if the car ahead stops suddenly, lowering the chance of a rear-end collision setting off a larger crash.
Do secondary crashes commonly happen after an initial wreck?
Yes. Vehicles that spin out, stop in travel lanes, or slow unexpectedly can catch following drivers off guard, leading to additional collisions seconds after the first impact.
What makes multi-vehicle crashes difficult to investigate?
Investigators have to determine the order of impacts, how each vehicle moved after being struck, and what each driver did leading up to the crash, which usually takes longer than a two-car collision.
