Potential changes in the works for notorious thoroughfare on San Antonio’s Southeast Side
SAPD: 59 crashes in ten years, one fatality on E. Southcross
City leaders working on solutions for problematic Southeast Side road
SAN ANTONIO – It may have been a two-way street in the early 1950s when the Highland Hills community of duplexes was built on either side, but East Southcross has now become a notorious major thoroughfare on San Antonio’s Southeast Side.
San Antonio Police Department records show there’ve been 59 crashes and one fatality in the past 10 years on East Southcross.
Of those, SAPD said 46 weren’t obeying traffic laws, 10 were due to “driver inattention,” and three were driving while under the influence.
