5 Dead and 12 Injured in Fort Worth Accident

Two related accidents on Interstate 30 outside of Fort Worth left 5 people dead and 12 injured early Sunday morning. An initial single vehicle accident was reported at 2:30 a.m. when a car veered off the road and into a concrete barrier. Other drivers on the road pulled over to help the victim of the first crash, blocking lanes on the freeway, when an 18-wheeler crashed into the good Samaritans and 9 stopped vehicles.

Four people were pronounced dead at the scene and one individual later died in the hospital from fatal injuries. MedStar sent eight units to the scene, along with several ambulances. Twelve people in all were sent to area hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.

The driver of the 18-wheeler, at the time carrying the Sunday edition of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reportedly was unable to break in time to avoid the crash. The westbound freeway was closed around Oakland Blvd. for several hours following the accident as police and other officials ascertained the cause of the crash.

Our condolences go out to all affected by this tragic incident.

College station three car crash injures one

A three-vehicle pileup in Brazos County on July 9 left one man injured and closed down traffic for more than three hours, The Eagle reported.

According to Lieutenant Chuck Fleeger, an 18-wheeler, a sport utility vehicle, and a pickup truck were all traveling northbound toward Barron Road after 1:00 p.m. when the semi-truck slowed down due to traffic. The SUV slowed down just behind it, but the pickup truck did not register this in time. The SUV driver attempted to swerve out of the way when it became apparent that the pickup truck was not stopping, and the pickup ended up hitting both the SUV and the semi-truck.
