Major 18-Wheeler Accident Shuts Down I-20 at Key Pass
Both east and westbound lanes of I-20 on Ranger Hill were blocked today after an 18-wheeler slammed into the center median and jumped the barrier, causing hazards on both sides of the highway. Images of the accident reveal not only that the 18-wheeler accident was highly destructive, but also that it may have prompted several ancillary accidents that involved both big rigs and passenger cars.
For many Texas drivers and even more Texas truckers, Ranger Hill is a well-known North Texas incline and the cause of dozens of accidents every year. Truckers know – or should know – about its very real dangers. Prudence suggests that they should guard against its dangers by carefully choosing when, how and at what speed to navigate this potentially lethal pass near Abilene.

Do 18-wheeler drivers operate under unique laws and regulations? You bet. As the operators of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), the state of Texas and the federal government expect truckers to drive with a higher level of professionalism and care. Sadly, for the thousands of American motorists injured every year, many truckers fail to live up to the statutory and regulatory standards expressed in state and federal law.
