San Antonio, Texas (March 28, 2020) – The man who was killed Friday morning in a two-vehicle crash involving an 18-wheeler in San Antonio’s far West Side has been identified as Jose M. Moreno, 30, according to the police.

The fatal crash took place around 6:30 a.m. March 27, in the southbound access road of Loop 1604 near the Wiseman Boulevard exit.

Police said Moreno was driving a pickup truck at a high rate of speed when he rear-ended an 18-wheeler. The big rig was parked on the side of the access road with its hazard lights on. The pickup truck became wedged under the semi-truck.

Moreno’s cell phone was reportedly actively playing a video on YouTube as first responders rendered lifesaving measures. He was declared dead at the scene.

The driver of the semi-truck was uninjured in the crash.

Investigators said distracted driving was a factor in the crash.

The crash closed the Wiseman Boulevard exit from Loop 1604 southbound and two lanes of the access road for several hours.

The crash remains under investigation.

We pass our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Jose M. Moreno.
