Yesterday afternoon an 18 wheeler crashed into Morning Side Storage, which is just off the Eastbound Access Road of I-10 where North Main dead ends… Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the crash, including the Kendall County Sheriff's Office and the Boerne PD.  The story starts at the Pilot Truck Stop in Junction after a robbery - Junction is in Kimble County, and the stolen truck headed south into Kerr County.   After his tires were spiked at Joshua Creek, it finally ended here in Kendall County with that crash.  The driver was arrested and several charges are pending.  No one was hurt in the robbery.
