A man was killed in a car wreck on Interstate 10 Monday morning when a pickup truck he was driving smashed into a bridge pillar under South Kolb Road.
Howard Joseph Sterling, 65, of the 3300 block of East 26th Street, was traveling westbound about 8:10 a.m. on I-10 when he drove a white Toyota pickup truck into the median and struck a pillar, said Frank Torres, a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety.
The accident caused no lane blockages, and no other vehicles were involved, Torres said.
An investigation into what caused the driver to stray into the median is in progress, Torres said.
Torres did not know if the driver was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash.
