1 Killed and 5 Children Injured in Crash on Interstate 10 Frontage Road [Austin, TX]

Teacher Dead and Children Hospitalized After Crash on Interstate 10 Frontage Road in Austin

Austin, TX (December 19, 2024) – The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office reported that a 20-year-old teacher lost her life, and several children sustained injuries in a crash on Interstate 10 Frontage Road Thursday afternoon.

Emergency responders transported the driver and five children to nearby hospitals as a precaution following the incident, according to Sheriff Javier Salazar. 

The accident occurred while parents were picking up students from a school holiday party.

“This is a heartbreaking scene,” Sheriff Salazar stated. He explained that a parent had loaded her children into her vehicle and then, for unknown reasons, accelerated into another vehicle, which was pushed into a fence as a result.

Salazar noted that investigators do not suspect the crash was an intentional act or caused by intoxication.

“The driver does have a past medical history that may have played a role,” he added. “It’s possible this was the result of a medical issue.”

Authorities have notified the next of kin for the deceased teacher and the injured children, but the sheriff’s office has not released their identities.
