What was he doing? Driving fast or just driving like he always did? Bet he sorry now that his driving caused his death. Hope everyone else uses this unfortuned accident and slow down their driving.

" A driver was killed on Tuesday, hours after his BMW came crashing down from Loop 410 onto Vance Jackson." --- So first, the driver and his car fell off the bridge, but then, hours later, something else happened that killed him? Talk about having a bad day! I wonder what killed that poor person....

That's why this story reports the driver of this mangled piece of metal shown was MALE. Nice try. IMO I don't care what your gender is; a dooshebag driver is a dooshebag driver no matter what is between their legs.

Because my job involves dealing with group behaviors, one relatively recent (3-4 year) change in bad driver demographics has been the significant increase,in my vew,of young, VERY aggressive young women at the wheel. There has to be areason for this. It used to be young males ,( and they are still very bad), but it seems we have lot of homicidal young females on the road. Assinine statement, right ??!! lol.....

I'm curious how educated you need to be to know how to spell asinine correctly. :P LOL....keep it cool bonjour, I'm just kidding with you. I agree S.A. drivers suck in general. Many are overly aggressive. Particularly motorcyclists on crotch rockets weaving in and out of traffic. Not sure what happened in this accident but thoughts and prayers out to his/her family.

I think the evolutionary disappearance of the turn signal is note worthy. I am probably going to get shot at as a flash my lights at anyone changing lanes in front of me without signalling !! Or could it be that turn signals are now an option, or owner disconnected ?. Agree with you shadow, the roads in this region are death traps, a contributing factor may be lack of police enforcement, may be...

I lol at your notion that 'high' drivers cause accidents. They are usually the ones that are cruising 20mph down the highway thinking they're speeding. and suicidal? really? you think people plow head first into oncoming traffic because they lost a few bucks in the stock market...Let's look back on the WOAI reports and show that wrong-way driving and drunks slamming the only minivan with 12 passengers on the road at 3a.m. is your culprits.

Crazy and to think I had driven by that section of Loop 410 15-20 minutes before this happened. Who knows what happened in this case but people just drive like maniacs in San Antonio in general. People weaving in and out of traffic doing way over the speed limit. Also waiting till the last minute to decide to cut across 3 lanes to get off on an exit. No wonder there are so many accidents.
