San Antonio, TX (January 11, 2025) – A major multi-vehicle crash on NE Loop 410 near Starcrest Dr Friday afternoon left several people injured and tragically claimed the life of a young woman. Emergency responders arrived at the scene around 3:30 p.m. to provide assistance and manage the aftermath of the collision.
San Antonio Police reported that the crash involved four vehicles, including a Jeep and a Dodge 2500 with a steel bed. The incident occurred as the Jeep was entering the main lanes of the 2700 block of NE Loop 410 from an entrance ramp. Traffic in the area had slowed down due to normal afternoon congestion.

Despite these efforts, the Jeep collided with the Dodge 2500, causing severe damage to the Jeep’s front passenger seat. Tragically, a 20-year-old woman in the passenger seat of the Jeep sustained critical injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
Several other individuals sustained injuries in the crash and were treated by emergency personnel. The collision led to significant traffic disruptions as several lanes were blocked while crews worked to clear the scene and investigate the incident.
