The Boerne police were dispatched at 2:13 p.m. The accident happened on eastbound I-10 near mile marker 539.

The SUV had three passengers and a driver, the driver was an adult female, and the passengers were an infant, a 2-year old child, and a 4-year-old child. The Initial investigation revealed the children possibly weren’t appropriately restrained in their child safety seats.
