Officials identified 36-year-old Rodolfo Puente Rivera, of San Antonio, as the man who lost his life following a traffic collision Wednesday night in north Laredo.
As per the initial information, the fatal two-vehicle crash took place on mile marker 12 of Interstate 35 North at the 12800 block of Frontage Road. The preliminary reports showed that a white 2011 Ford Eco Van was stalled out in the middle lane of the roadway when a 2019 Freightliner tractor-trailer crashed into the stalled vehicle from behind and sent the van into the median.
On arrival, first responders rushed the driver of the van to Doctors Hospital, where he was later declared dead. Police mentioned the driver of the truck came up suddenly on the van and could not avoid the collision. It is unknown if the incident caused any other injuries. No other details are available.
An investigation is ongoing.
