Truck Stalled in Water on Interstate 35 in San AntonioRelated coverage:

SAN ANTONIO – Drivers are used to being stuck on Interstate 35, but instead of traffic, one truck got stalled in water.

“Well, it’s done good,” said Robert, the driver who asked KSAT not to use his last name. “I’ve got almost 600,000 miles on it, so — it’s been a good little truck.”

Robert said he was on his way to work just after 8 a.m. on Tuesday. The rain on I-35 northbound near Loop 410 didn’t worry him.

“Really didn’t look that bad, and I saw another couple vehicles make it through, and I thought I could,” he said. “All of a sudden, it’s like you got down in here, and the water got like 6, 8, maybe 10 inches deep real quick.”

The water poured in, and Robert described the sound of the engine sucking it up.

“Unfortunately, it got real deep real quick,” he said. “It rushed in, water rushing in, and it drowned it out, so I stopped it right there, just got out and walked out and walked to work.”

Robert’s wet walk to work also comes with his warning for others.

“Watch for water, and if it looks like you can cross it — I recommend you don’t because nine times out of 10, you’re not gonna,” he said.

Hours later, the water receded, leaving mud and debris on the highway. A tow truck pulled Robert’s truck out of the way.

In San Antonio, a truck driver named Robert found himself stuck in water on Interstate 35. Despite his truck’s high mileage, he was confident in its ability to handle the rain until the water unexpectedly rose to dangerous levels. He had to abandon his vehicle and walk to work, emphasizing the importance of caution when faced with flooded roadways.

Robert’s story serves as a reminder to all drivers to exercise caution during heavy rain and to avoid attempting to cross flooded areas. The aftermath of the incident left debris on the highway and required a tow truck to remove the stranded vehicle.

Stay safe on the roads and remember, it’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to waterlogged streets. Drive carefully and always prioritize your safety on the roads.
