Six people were injured in a multi-vehicle chain of collisions on the I-30 bridge over the Trinity River in Dallas.  The sequence of crashes commenced when a tractor-trailer rig slammed into the rear of a cement truck.  The impact caused the cement truck to flip over the center median, where it was hit by an oncoming 18-wheeler truck and four passenger vehicles.  The injured individuals included the drivers and passengers in the four vehicles.  Traffic was shut down for six hours as a result of the wreck.

There are approximately half a million accidents involving 18-wheelers in the United States every year. Of those 500,000 accidents, around 5,000 will end in one or more fatalities.

The outcomes of car accidents involving an 18-wheeler are virtually always devastating. The average car is simply no match for the size and power of an 18-wheeler. The likelihood that the driver of a motor vehicle involved in an 18-wheeler accident will be seriously injured is very high.

Injuries suffered in 18-wheeler accidents can include:

• Amputation
• Disfigurement
• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Head trauma
• Paralysis

A number of different factors can contribute to the cause of an 18-wheeler car accident. Reasons that an 18-wheeler driver may be at fault for a car accident include:

• Unsafe loads
• Tire blowouts or defective tires
• Violations of laws or regulations
• Driver error
• Driver fatigue
• Brake failure or defective brakes
• Mechanical malfunctions
• Failure to follow appropriate safety measures
• Poor maintenance
• Drive intoxication

Zille and a passenger were traveling in a 2007 Chevy Impala when they pulled out onto U.S. 84 in the direct path of an oncoming 18-wheeler.
