A 33-Year-Old Man Died After Being Struck While Crossing Interstate 35, San Antonio Police Say
The man was struck while attempting to cross I-35, according to San Antonio police; KENS 5 reported he was hit by two vehicles. Police have released no name, and none is published here.
A 33-year-old man died after being struck while attempting to cross Interstate 35, according to the San Antonio Police Department, in reporting by KSAT read by the desk this cycle. KENS 5's account of the same incident, also carried in this cycle's reporting, said the man was struck by two vehicles while crossing the interstate.
The death is the kind this desk's public-safety beat exists to record plainly: a pedestrian crossing a high-speed interstate mainlane is in the most exposed position on San Antonio's road network, and I-35 through the city carries both local traffic and the through freight and passenger flow of the corridor. The reporting read this cycle did not state the crossing's location on I-35, the time, or whether the drivers stopped, and the desk reports none of those things rather than filling them in.
Police have not released the man's name in the reporting read this cycle, and none is published here. The desk will update the file if SAPD or the medical examiner releases further confirmed detail.
