Eight injured in five-vehicle Plano car accident
Eight people were injured in a five-vehicle accident in Plano, Texas, on Monday afternoon. The accident caused major traffic delays, with the southbound lanes closed between Park Boulevard and Plano Parkway for six hours.
The accident took place north of 15th Street on Central Expressway. Plano police believe the accident was caused by an 18-wheeler careening into the southbound HOV lane and striking a Texas DOT truck located in a construction zone.
The 18-wheeler then struck a pickup truck. As a result of the impact, the pickup truck flipped over a box truck and crashed into a Mazda.
After being struck by the 18-wheeler, the Texas DOT truck smashed into a concrete median, pushing it into the northbound HOV lane.
Both the southbound and northbound HOV lanes will be closed while repairs are being made.
Five of the eight injured individuals were treated and released at the scene. The remaining three were taken to nearby hospitals.
