01/16/2008
This morning, Fort Worth Star Telegram reported that a head-on collision occurred in Grapevine Texas.
A Grapevine man was seriously injured this morning when the car he was driving collided with a tanker truck on a highway near Grapevine High School, police said.
The accident was reported shortly after 8 a.m. in the 2900 block of Ira E. Woods Ave.
The unidentified man was taken by helicopter ambulance to a local hospital, police said. His condition was unavailable. He was the only person in the car at the time of the accident.
The man was driving a 1989 Ford LTD eastbound on the highway when his vehicle drifted into the westbound lane, striking the tanker truck, police said.
The driver of the tanker truck was not injured, police said. The tanker was empty at the time of the accident, police said.
Police diverted westbound traffic on Ira E. Woods Ave. to S. Kimball Ave. for almost three hours as crews worked to remove the vehicles.
In many instances, reasons for accidents involving a tanker truck can be very inclear. For this reason, it is very important to act quickly in any personal injury case to insure that all legal rights are obtained.
