El Paso, Texas (October 19, 2026): A crash involving a semi-truck and several vehicles killed a man Monday morning. According to TxDOT, the crash happened at the Loop 375 overpass at I-10 in Northwest El Paso. Police received the call around 10:33 a.m. Authorities closed all directions at the overpass.
The El Paso Fire Department reported several injuries. One person went to the hospital by helicopter. Four others had minor injuries and also went to the hospital. Another four people refused transport. Police have not released the name of the man who died.
Several nearby roads also remained closed, including:
Semi-truck driver Rudy Lopez Jr. told KFOX14 he usually avoids Transmountain because of its steep downgrade. He noted that a fully loaded semi cannot stop as quickly as a passenger car. Lopez urged drivers to give trucks more space on the road.
Transmountain has seen other semi-truck crashes this year. In late August, a semi crash near Desert South sent two people to the hospital with minor injuries. The current investigation is still ongoing.
