TxDOT says improvements are coming to accident-prone West Bexar County intersection

One person died Monday after he crashed his box truck into an 18-wheeler at the intersection of U.S. Highway 90 and State Highway 211.

“You take your life into your own hands every time you drive out of our neighborhood,” resident Kim Buettner, who lives near US-90 and SH-211, said.“When that box truck and 18-wheeler collided, the driver of that box truck died. When you heard about that…” KSAT asked Buettner and fellow resident Steve Mireles.“Why do we have to continue to have these fatal accidents?” Buettner said.

Lopez said TxDOT plans to build a westbound to eastbound turnaround on US-90. The project is expected to begin this summer with an estimated completion date set for 2026. TxDOT is also planning a $260 million transportation investment that would convert the US-90 roadway to an expressway from SH-211 to Loop 1604. This project would likely be completed in 2025, officials said.John Paul Barajas is a reporter at KSAT 12. Previously, he worked at KRGV 5 in the Rio Grande Valley.
