Where the Crash Happened: Southwest Loop 410 Eastbound
The reported location is the 13000 block of Southwest Loop 410 eastbound in San Antonio. Loop roadways can carry fast-moving traffic through multiple lanes, with drivers entering, exiting, and changing lanes around ramps and nearby access points.
An eastbound wrong-way report gives investigators a specific traffic-direction issue to examine. In a case like this, officers may need to determine where the wrong-way movement began, how long it continued, and where the two vehicles entered the same stretch of roadway.

Why Wrong-Way Crashes on Loop Roads Are Often Severe
Wrong-way crashes on major roadways can be catastrophic because vehicles may meet head-on with very little time for either driver to react. On Southwest Loop 410, the reported wrong-way call came before officers arrived, and a crash was reported while they were still responding.
The post-crash fire also adds complexity. Fire damage can affect vehicle evidence, damage patterns, and interior documentation, so investigators may need to rely on roadway marks, debris, witness accounts, dispatch timing, and medical examiner findings to build a full picture of what happened.
How this collision is investigated
SAPD investigators will likely review the reported wrong-way call, dispatch timing, the vehicles’ final positions, roadway evidence, debris, and any available traffic-camera or nearby surveillance footage. They may also look for where the wrong-way driver entered the roadway and whether signs, ramps, lighting, or lane layout are relevant to the sequence.
Because both drivers died, the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office has a separate role in confirming identity and determining cause and manner of death. Police have not released a final explanation for the crash, so the cause remains under investigation.
What to do after a fatal crash in Texas
After a fatal crash, the official report can help families and involved parties understand what investigators documented after scene work, witness follow-up, and evidence review.
In Texas, crash reports are handled by the Texas Dept. of Transportation (TxDOT) — custodian of records via CRIS. The official portal is the CRIS Public Portal — cris.dot.state.tx.us/public/Purchase. The report forms listed for Texas are CR-3 (report); CR-91 (mail request).
Texas’s listed report fee is $6 regular; $8 certified (online via CRIS, credit/debit). Officers have 10 days to file; ~4 business days TxDOT processing (often 7-10 business days available). Reports may be requested by parties with proper interest get unredacted; others receive redacted copy (§ 550.065(c)). Texas has not a fixed public window — eligibility-based redaction.
Further details may be released after SAPD and the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office complete their reviews.
