San Antonio – A fatal vehicle rollover on Southeast Loop 410 left one person dead Thursday afternoon, June 20, 2025, according to reports from the San Antonio police and the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office. The victim was identified as Justin Rendon, 37, who succumbed to blunt force injuries at the accident scene.
The crash occurred shortly after 1 p.m. in the 1000 block of Southeast Loop 410, near East Houston Street. Initial investigations suggest that Rendon was speeding when he lost control of his vehicle, veering off the highway onto the access road. After colliding with a dumpster, the vehicle continued its trajectory and struck nearby heavy equipment. This impact caused the vehicle to roll over, leading to Rendon’s ejection from the car.
San Antonio police confirmed that multiple northbound lanes on Southeast Loop 410 and East Houston Street were closed following the incident as responders worked at the scene. An investigator from the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office was dispatched to conduct an inquiry into the accident. The exact manner of death for Rendon is still pending determination.
Details of the Crash
According to police reports, shortly before the crash, Rendon was allegedly traveling at excessive speeds on Loop 410. The circumstances surrounding the loss of control and subsequent collision are still under investigation. The entrance ramp to Loop 410 experienced significant delays due to the emergency response efforts, affecting traffic in surrounding areas.
Road Safety Concerns

Community Response
Social media channels have lit up with condolences for Rendon’s family, and community members are expressing their grief over the loss of life on the road.
