San Antonio, Texas (January 28, 2021) – The person who was killed in an 18-wheeler crash that left two other people injured on Friday in San Antonio has been identified as Robert Moore, 53, of San Antonio, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The fatal crash happened around 10:00 p.m., January 22, on Interstate 37.

Police said an 18-wheeler carrying molasses drifted to the right, struck a guardrail, and then crashed into a bridge abutment. It flew off the overpass onto Loop 1604 and landed in the center lane of eastbound Loop 1604, where the tractor and trailer separated.

A Dodge Caravan heading westbound on Loop 1604 was struck by either the truck or the trailer. The tractor went through a guardrail and came to rest on the embankment under the overpass, and burst into flames.

The 18-wheeler driver, Moore, was killed in the crash.

The two people in the Dodge were taken to Brooke Army Medical Center with minor injuries.

The authorities are investigating the crash.
