The man who died after driving off the highway and crashing his car into a parked 18-wheeler has been identified.

David Gallegos, 40, died from blunt force injuries in an accident Wednesday, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s office.

The crash happened around 12:20 a.m. in the 1900 block of Southeast Loop 410, just past Rigsby Avenue.

An SAPD preliminary report said the man was driving fast when he lost control of the vehicle and crossed several lanes before ending up on the access road.

The vehicle slid and then struck a parked 18-wheeler on private property, the report states.

Police said the man’s vehicle went under the back of the 18-wheeler.

The San Antonio Fire Department pronounced the man dead at the scene.
