According to news reports, the accident closed two lanes of Interstate 35 for about six hours after the time of the accident. October 11, 2018 – The 22-year-old Jayde Nicole Sherbert of San Marcos died late Thursday night when her vehicle hit the rear end of an 18-wheeler. Sherbert was the only occupant of her vehicle at the time of the crash. The accident took place on I-35, in the northbound lanes near State Highway 123. Sherbert, who was a former student of Texas State University, died in the crash, but the driver of the 18-wheeler was uninjured. No one else was involved in the accident. Authorities are uncertain of the causes of the crash at this time, although a representative of San Marcos said they believe Sherbert was texting on her phone just before it happened. Driving too fast for conditions may also have been a factor, as investigators state that traffic in the area was slowed because of road work in the area. Traffic was blocked in two of the northbound lanes of I-35 until around 4:30 AM on Friday morning, because of cleanup efforts and investigation into the cause of the accident.
