San Antonio police say a man lost his life after being struck by a UPS 18‑wheel truck on an eastbound access road of Loop 410 just after 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The collision occurred near North Vandiver Road, not far from Harry Wurzbach Road.
Witness account and initial findings
According to officers, a witness told investigators the victim was already on the ground when the UPS truck made contact. The witness did not see any other vehicle involved at that moment.
Investigation into a possible prior hit
Detectives are now examining whether the man may have been initially struck by a different vehicle that failed to stop. Police have not released any additional details about that potential vehicle, its description, or whether any evidence such as tire marks or surveillance footage has been recovered.
Police response and next steps
Officers arrived at the scene shortly after the reported time and secured the area. The investigation remains active, and the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) has asked anyone with further information to contact them.
Context for local drivers
Loop 410 is a major beltway that circles San Antonio, and its access roads see a high volume of commercial traffic, especially in the early morning hours when freight carriers like UPS are making deliveries. The incident underscores the importance of vigilance for both drivers and pedestrians in high‑traffic corridors.
Community impact
While the cause of the fatality is still under investigation, the loss has resonated with local residents who rely on the Loop for daily commutes and commerce. Community leaders have expressed condolences to the victim’s family and urged motorists to exercise caution, especially during low‑light conditions.
The SAPD will continue to gather evidence and will release further updates as the investigation progresses.
