A San Marcos woman died in a collision with a tractor-trailer on IH-35 Thursday night.

San Marcos emergency units responded to a major traffic accident in the northbound lanes of IH-35 at the Hwy 123 exit at 10:30 p.m. Oct. 11.

Arriving units found that a black 2018 Nissan Altima had struck the rear of an 18-wheeler trailer and went under the trailer, suffered extensive damage.

The driver and sole occupant, identified as Jayde Nicole Sherbert (DOB 05-27-1996), was pronounced dead on the scene by Justice of the Peace Jo Ann Prado. The driver of the truck was uninjured.

Sherbert was a resident of San Marcos and a former Texas State University student and currently worked as a bartender at Texas Roadhouse in San Marcos.

According to Texas Roadhouse employees, Sherbert had just finished her shift at Texas Roadhouse and had made the turn-around on Wonder World and entered onto I-35 North.

Several of the employees saw the emergency vehicles on I-35, however they were unaware that the accident involved their friend and co-worker.

Investigators believe that she may have been texting just before the collision, however, SMPD has yet to determine the speed of the two vehicles involved and the investigation continues. The northbound traffic had been slowed due to current nightly road construction.

Two of the northbound lanes were blocked until about 4:30 a.m. Friday while investigators worked the scene.

The SMPD Collision Investigation Team continue to investigate.
