One Killed in Icy I-10 Crash Near Kerrville Thursday

KERRVILLE, TX – A fatal crash occurred on I-10 on Thursday during the winter storm that iced over the majority of the interstate.

According to the Kerrville Police Department, on Feb. 3, officers responded to a report of a traffic crash on Interstate Highway 10 near mile marker 510.

Upon arrival, officers located a tractor trailer involved in a collision with a Ford F-350 pickup truck, just inside the Kerrville city limits, in Kerr County, Texas. The tractor trailer was westbound when it attempted to slow for traffic that was at a standstill due to inclement weather conditions ahead. The tractor trailer flipped onto its side and slid due to the icy conditions. The trailer collided with the Ford F-350 pickup that was stopped for traffic, seriously injuring the two occupants.

Kerrville Fire EMS arrived and both injured parties were transported by ground ambulance to Peterson Regional Medical Center in Kerrville, where they were listed in critical condition. At about 6:30 a.m. on Friday, February 4, 2022, one of the occupants of the pickup succumbed to his injuries. No further information regarding the condition of the second injured party is available at this time.
