Collision sends truck off U.S. 281 overpass

San Antonio (AP)- A two-vehicle wreck Wednesday afternoon on southbound U.S. 281 sent a pickup over a guardrail, plummeting 20 feet from an overpass onto St. Mary's Street.

The collision closed the highway between the Mulberry Avenue exit and the St. Mary's Street on-ramp for more than an hour.

The 22-year-old female driver, whose name was not released, was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center in critical condition.

According to witnesses and San Antonio police Sgt. Ernest Celaya, the pickup and another car came into contact on the highway. The pickup ricocheted from the far right lane to the far left lane and then back to the right lane, where it slid along the guardrail.
