A major 18-Wheeler crash striking a passenger car on Interstate 30 in Texarkana, Texas, resulted in 10 people injured, and 3 seriously injured. Texas DPS say that traffic along I-30 was at a near crawl because of ongoing construction.
DPS reports that the driver of an 18-wheeler approached the construction zone and failed to slow down and ended up barreling through six vehicles before running off the road. Was the 18-Wheeler exceeding hours of service? Fatigued? Texting or email?
A total of 10 people were reportedly involved in the accident and 3 of the 10 were taken to an area hospital with what’s being described as serious injuries. Texas DPS reports that the three transported were in the first vehicle hit by the 18-wheeler.
