Two people were hospitalized Monday in a multi-pickup crash on Loop 1604 on the Northwest Side, police said.

The collision began around 6:40 a.m. when a woman in an F-150 traveling on the westbound lanes of Loop 1604 between Bandera Road and West Hausman Road was pushed off the roadway by another vehicle.

She crossed the median onto the eastbound lanes and hit a black pickup truck head-on, then continued down the road and smashed head on again into a white pickup truck.

An 18-wheeler hauling a large construction vehicle then clipped one of the wrecked out pickup trucks.

Police said the woman who was initially pushed off the road and the man driving the black pickup truck were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.

Officers had to block off the Loop 1604 entrance ramp at Bandera Road until 9 a.m. when they cleared the roadway and reopened the eastbound lanes of Loop 1604.
