SAN ANTONIO — A woman is dead after her car caught fire following a wrong-way crash along I-10 Friday morning.
According to an official with SAPD, officers were called out to the scene at I-10 near La Cantera Parkway around 3:30 a.m.
At the scene, there was a car with significant damage engulfed in flames.
An official with SAPD said that the driver, described as a woman in her 20s-30s, was driving the wrong way on I-10. Shortly, before the crash, a 911 call was made regarding the wrong-way driver as she passed DeZavala Road.
As the driver came up near La Cantera Parkway, she crashed head-on into a concrete divider set up in a construction zone; the car then flipped over and caught fire.
The driver was ejected from her car and while attempted life-saving measures were taken, the driver's injuries were too severe. She died at the scene.
Both North and South-bound lanes on I-10 were shut down as crews worked the scene. The lanes have since been reopened.
