Interstate 35 has been backed up throughout Friday afternoon after the San Marcos Police Department alongside fire and EMS responded to two large wrecks.
SMPD said the two accidents occurred a few minutes apart on I-35. Officials said the first wreck occurred around 1:30 p.m. on southbound I-35 and involved a semi-truck and several cars, which resulted in the closure of a couple of lanes for a very short period. This accident required two ambulances, but only one person was transported to an area hospital and injuries are unknown.
Officials said the second wreck occurred around 2:17 p.m. on northbound I-35 and involved an 18-wheeler and a black Mazda. The accident was moved off the interstate and EMS responded but didn’t transport anyone to the hospital.
