San Marcos, Texas (August 14, 2020) – A 70-year-old woman was killed in a two-vehicle crash early Thursday morning in San Marcos, according to officials.

The fatal crash happened around 2:00 a.m., August 13, on I-35 southbound at the Blanco River exit.

Police said a white 2009 Dodge Journey was traveling in the far-right lane behind a red 2016 Volvo semi-tractor trailer with a tandem trailer. The Dodge driver changed lanes to avoid a vehicle approaching from behind and rear-ended the Volvo.

A female passenger in the Dodge was taken to Ascension Seton Hays Hospital in Kyle, where she was pronounced dead.

The Dodge driver was cited for not having a driver’s license, no insurance, and failure to control speed.

The crash remains under investigation.

We pass our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
