Early on October 22, 2025, a box truck heading west on Interstate 10 left the highway near the State Highway 123 Bypass, just northeast of San Antonio, and came down onto the road below, striking one car and landing on the sedan Mr. Stephenson was driving. Seguin police said he was pronounced dead at the scene, and two other people, the box truck driver and the driver of the second car, were taken to the hospital (Seguin Police Department, KSAT, San Antonio Express-News). We at J. Alexander Law Firm have sat with Texas families after a commercial truck took someone they love, and we wrote this to answer the question so many people typed that morning, who was the driver, and then to explain, plainly, what the law lets a family do when a truck like this lands on a car. Our condolences are with Mr. Stephenson&#8217;s family, and nothing here speaks for them.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"jal-question\" data-q=\"People also ask\">\n      <div class=\"jal-question-label\">The driver<\/div>\n      <h2 class=\"jal-qh2\">Who was the driver killed when a box truck landed on a car <em>near San Antonio<\/em><\/h2>\n      <p class=\"jal-answer-summary\"><strong>The driver who died was Anthony Stephenson, 63, of Seguin, Texas.<\/strong> He was killed early on October 22, 2025 when a box truck left Interstate 10 and came down onto his car near the State Highway 123 Bypass, in the San Antonio metro area (Seguin Police Department).<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- ============ 01 WHAT HAPPENED ============ -->\n    <h2 class=\"jal-h2\" id=\"jal-what\">What happened in the Seguin box truck crash: <em>a truck left I-10 and came down onto the road below<\/em><\/h2>\n\n    <p>Just after 6:30 in the morning on October 22, 2025, a white box truck was heading west on Interstate 10 when, for reasons investigators have not yet explained, it left the highway near the State Highway 123 Bypass on the edge of Seguin. The truck came down onto the bypass, where it first struck a gray sedan and then landed on a red sedan in the northbound lanes. The driver of the red sedan, Anthony Stephenson, did not survive. The box truck driver and the driver of the gray sedan were both taken to the hospital, and police closed the intersection for hours to clear the scene and begin their work (Seguin Police Department, KSAT, San Antonio Express-News). A box truck is a commercial vehicle, a straight truck with a boxed cargo body, and even a mid-size one weighs many times what a family car does. That is why a truck coming off a highway onto the road below is not a fender bender but a catastrophe for whoever is beneath it.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"jal-graph\">\n      <div class=\"jal-graph-title\">How the crash unfolded <span class=\"jal-source\">Seguin PD, KSAT, Express-News<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"jal-graph-body\">\n        <div class=\"jal-seq\">\n          <div class=\"jal-seq-car jal-seq-hit\">\n            <div class=\"jal-seq-num\">On I-10<\/div>\n            <div class=\"jal-seq-name\">Box truck westbound<\/div>\n            <div class=\"jal-seq-desc\">A straight truck with a boxed cargo body, on the interstate at dawn<\/div>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"jal-seq-arrow\">&#10132;<\/div>\n          <div class=\"jal-seq-car\">\n            <div class=\"jal-seq-num\">Leaves the road<\/div>\n            <div class=\"jal-seq-name\">Comes down onto SH 123<\/div>\n            <div class=\"jal-seq-desc\">The truck departs the highway near the bypass, cause not yet released<\/div>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"jal-seq-arrow\">&#10132;<\/div>\n          <div class=\"jal-seq-car\">\n            <div class=\"jal-seq-num\">Below<\/div>\n            <div class=\"jal-seq-name\">Strikes one car, lands on another<\/div>\n            <div class=\"jal-seq-desc\">A gray sedan is hit; a red sedan is beneath the truck.

A box truck left I-10 and came down onto the road below, striking two cars.<\/div><\/details>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- ============ 02 WHERE \/ IS SEGUIN SAN ANTONIO ============ -->\n    <h2 class=\"jal-h2\" id=\"jal-where\">Whether Seguin counts as San Antonio: <em>the same metro, a different county and police force<\/em><\/h2>\n\n    <p>Many people searched for this as a San Antonio crash, and in the way most people mean it, that is fair. Seguin sits about 35 miles northeast of downtown San Antonio, inside the San Antonio metro area, along the Interstate 10 corridor that carries commuters and freight between the two. But Seguin is its own city in Guadalupe County, not Bexar County, so the crash is being handled by the Seguin Police Department, not the San Antonio Police Department. That distinction matters for a family, because the agency that holds the crash report, the scene photos, and the investigation file decides where the evidence lives and how to request it. We handle <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/practice-areas\/truck-accident-lawyers\/san-antonio\/\">San Antonio truck accident<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/practice-areas\/car-accident-lawyers\/san-antonio\/\">car accident<\/a> cases across the whole metro, including the smaller cities like Seguin, New Braunfels, and Schertz that ring it.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"jal-faq-list\">\n      <details class=\"jal-faq-item\"><summary>Is Seguin considered part of San Antonio?<\/summary><div class=\"jal-faq-a\"><strong>Seguin sits inside the greater San Antonio metro area, about 35 miles northeast of downtown, but it is its own city in Guadalupe County.<\/strong> The Seguin Police Department, not the San Antonio Police Department, is handling this crash.<\/div><\/details>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- ============ 03 CAUSE UNDER INVESTIGATION ============ -->\n    <h2 class=\"jal-h2\" id=\"jal-cause\">What made the truck leave the highway: <em>the cause is still under investigation, and that is the honest answer<\/em><\/h2>\n\n    <p>As of the last public update, the Seguin Police Department had not said why the truck left Interstate 10, and we will not guess. No cause has been released, no one has been charged, and speed, a tire, the load, a medical event, and the road itself are all still open questions. What we can tell you is how that question gets answered, because it rarely answers itself. In a serious truck crash the proof lives in places that disappear quickly: the truck&#8217;s engine control module, which records speed and braking in the seconds before impact, the company&#8217;s maintenance and inspection logs, the driver&#8217;s hours of service records, the cargo weight and how it was secured, and the marks left on the road itself. We at J. Alexander Law Firm move in the first days to preserve those records before they are overwritten or lost, because once they are gone, the honest answer to what happened can become impossible to reach.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"jal-faq-list\">\n      <details class=\"jal-faq-item\"><summary>Has anyone been charged in the Seguin box truck crash?<\/summary><div class=\"jal-faq-a\"><strong>No.<\/strong> As of the latest public reporting, the Seguin Police Department had not released a cause and no charges had been announced.

When that weight comes down on a car, the safety cage that is meant to protect the people inside is overwhelmed, and there is little a seat belt or an airbag can do against a load falling from above. This is the hard pattern behind truck crashes across the country: in fatal crashes involving a large truck, roughly seven in ten of the people who die are in the other vehicle, not the truck, according to federal crash data (FMCSA). Texas sees more of this than any state, because it leads the nation in both freight traffic and <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/texas-road-deaths-statistics\/\">road deaths<\/a> (TxDOT). It is also why the injuries survivors carry out of a truck crash are so often <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/catastrophic-injury-case\/\">catastrophic ones<\/a>, the kind that change a life and a household, not the kind that heal in a week.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"jal-graph\">\n      <div class=\"jal-graph-title\">Who dies in a fatal large-truck crash <span class=\"jal-source\">Federal crash data, FMCSA<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"jal-graph-body\">\n        <div class=\"jal-gauge jal-gauge-fit\">\n          <div class=\"jal-gauge-ring\" style=\"background:conic-gradient(var(--gold) 0 70%, var(--panel-2) 70% 100%);\">\n            <div class=\"jal-gauge-core\">7 in 10<small>the other vehicle<\/small><\/div>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"jal-gauge-legend\">\n            <div class=\"jal-gauge-key\"><span class=\"jal-gauge-swatch jal-sw-gold\"><\/span><span>People in the other vehicle: roughly seven of every ten killed<\/span><\/div>\n            <div class=\"jal-gauge-key\"><span class=\"jal-gauge-swatch jal-sw-dark\"><\/span><span>People in the truck: the smaller share, protected by its size<\/span><\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"jal-graph-note\">In a truck crash, the danger falls hardest <span>on the smaller vehicle<\/span><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"jal-faq-list\">\n      <details class=\"jal-faq-item\"><summary>Who usually dies in a crash between a truck and a car?<\/summary><div class=\"jal-faq-a\"><strong>In fatal crashes involving a large truck, federal data shows that roughly seven in ten of the people who die are in the other vehicle, not the truck.<\/strong> The size and weight difference is why.<\/div><\/details>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- ============ 05 ALONDRA STORY ============ -->\n    <h2 class=\"jal-h2\" id=\"jal-alondra\">What it is like when a big truck hits a smaller vehicle: <em>how we helped Alondra after an 18-wheeler came into her lane<\/em><\/h2>\n\n    <p>Alondra told her story on camera. She was driving on the highway toward downtown Dallas when an 18-wheeler drifted into her lane and hit the entire side of her car, sending it swerving. In that first moment, she said, you are in such shock that you do not feel anything; the pain in her neck and lower back came later, and as a teacher on her feet all day, she felt it for months. She called our team right after the crash, went straight to the doctor, and stayed in treatment for four to five months until she was released. When her case resolved, the result was far more than she expected, and she said she had never seen a check like it. Her crash was not this one, and every case is different, but it is the same shape: a truck that did not stay in its lane, and a person in a smaller vehicle left to carry the harm. When an <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/18-wheeler-sideswiped-my-car\/\">18-wheeler comes into your lane<\/a>, the fight is almost always with a commercial insurer, and that is a fight we know. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VPqpW1_99C8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the rest of Alondra&#8217;s story<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"jal-faq-list\">\n      <details class=\"jal-faq-item\"><summary>What should you do if a truck hit the side of your car?<\/summary><div class=\"jal-faq-a\"><strong>Get checked by a doctor the same day even if you feel alright, report the crash to police, and photograph the truck and its company markings.<\/strong> Then speak to a lawyer before you give the truck insurer a statement.<\/div><\/details>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- ============ 06 LIABILITY ============ -->\n    <h2 class=\"jal-h2\" id=\"jal-liable\">Who can be held responsible when a commercial truck crashes: <em>usually more than just the driver<\/em><\/h2>\n\n    <div class=\"jal-question\" data-q=\"People also ask\">\n      <div class=\"jal-question-label\">Liability<\/div>\n      <h2 class=\"jal-qh2\">Who is liable in a truck accident, <em>and can you sue the trucking company<\/em><\/h2>\n      <p class=\"jal-answer-summary\"><strong>Often more than one party, and yes, the company can be sued, not only the driver.<\/strong> A trucking company can share the blame when it pushed an unsafe schedule, skipped maintenance, hired an unqualified driver, or loaded the truck badly.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <p>When a box truck or an 18-wheeler is involved, responsibility rarely stops with the person behind the wheel. A commercial truck is run by a business, and Texas and federal law hold that business to a higher standard than an ordinary driver. Fault can live in several places at once: with the driver, if they were speeding, tired, or distracted; with the trucking company, if it pushed an unrealistic schedule, skipped maintenance, or put an unqualified driver on the road; and with whoever loaded or secured the cargo, if a shifting or overweight load helped send the truck out of control. Each of those is proven with different records, the driver&#8217;s logbook, the company&#8217;s files, the maintenance and inspection history, and the cargo manifest, which is exactly why the evidence work in the first days matters so much.

But bigger does not mean simple. When more than one person is hurt in the same crash, as happened here, those injured share the same policy, and a catastrophic injury can drain even a large limit. Your own coverage is the backstop the insurers hope you forget. Personal injury protection is the part of your policy that pays your first medical bills, no matter who was at fault. Coverage for when the other driver has no insurance or not enough, called uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, sits in every Texas auto policy unless you rejected it in writing, and it fills the gap when the at-fault side cannot cover what it caused, the same coverage that matters when you are <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/hit-byuninsured-driver-texas-who-pays\/\">hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver<\/a>.

Her airbags deployed, the seat belt left burns, and the scans later showed herniations in her back. Then came the second blow: the driver who hit her had no insurance, and she was told the whole cost might land on her, on a car she had already paid off. A neighbor handed her our card. She gave her statement once, and from there, in her words, a weight lifted, because she did not have to fight the insurance company herself. That is what uninsured and underinsured coverage is for, and it is why we ask about it in every case, because the at-fault side, a truck company included, does not always have enough to make a family whole. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AHymdqtNWhs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the rest of Morgan&#8217;s story<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"jal-faq-list\">\n      <details class=\"jal-faq-item\"><summary>What happens if the at-fault truck driver is not fully insured?<\/summary><div class=\"jal-faq-a\"><strong>Your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage can fill the gap.<\/strong> It sits in every Texas auto policy unless you rejected it in writing, and it pays when the at-fault side cannot cover what it caused.<\/div><\/details>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- ============ 09 FATAL \/ WRONGFUL DEATH ============ -->\n    <h2 class=\"jal-h2\" id=\"jal-fatal\">When a truck crash takes a life in Texas: <em>who the law allows to recover<\/em><\/h2>\n\n    <p>A family lost Anthony Stephenson in this crash, and Texas law gives a family in that position a path, though we know no claim brings a person back. Our condolences remain with them, and nothing on this page is meant to speak for them or assign blame to anyone. For families who face this, the law provides two claims that run together. A wrongful death claim belongs to the closest family, the surviving spouse, the children, and the parents, and it is meant to recover for their loss. A separate claim, which Texas calls a survival claim, carries forward what the person who died could have brought themselves, on behalf of the estate. Both run on the same <a href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/texas-car-accident-filing-deadlines\/\">two-year filing deadline<\/a>, and for a death that clock starts on the date of death. When the at-fault side&#8217;s limits are not enough, the family&#8217;s own uninsured and underinsured coverage can help fund the recovery.
