18-Wheeler Accident Stalls Dallas Traffic, Threatens Drivers
In the waning, dark hours of yesterday morning, early-bird commuters were confronted with an eerie and dangerous sight: an 18-wheeler lying on its side on a southbound exit ramp. The overturned trailer and jackknifed truck blocked most of the exit, threatening unsuspecting driver with the possibility of a major – and potentially deadly – accident.
It shouldn’t have been particularly surprising to Dallas commuters that the 18-wheeler driver had lost control and slammed into the guardrail. Every year, more than 500,000 18-wheelers are involved in accidents, hundreds of thousands of which cause debilitating injuries. Moreover, Dallas drivers in particular should be familiar with trucking accidents. Texas is a leading state for commercial truck accidents and fatalities.

Despite the frequency of trucking accidents in Texas, just like the one this week that delayed traffic and threatened drivers with potentially serious injury, many Texas drivers don’t know what to do when they’re involved in an 18-wheeler accident.
As with any accident, your first destination should be the hospital or doctor’s office. Automobile accidents in general and 18-wheeler accidents in particular can cause serious, often unseen injuries. Without a medical report, you may not be able to recover to the full extent you deserve.
