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.

Late this afternoon, a major trucking accident occurred in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex resulting in serious injury to the driver.  In 18 wheeler accidents, it is important that vital evidence is preserved, including the black box, data recorder, the tractor, driver logs, tires, and any other important evidence or information relating to the accident. The Dallas Morning News covered the trucking accident:

One injured, lanes closed after tanker overturns on Highway 183 in Bedford, Texas

Commuters traveling westbound on State Highway 183 near Bedford should find an alternate route home, officials said Tuesday afternoon.

A fuel tanker truck traveling westbound on State Highway 183 overturned Tuesday afternoon near the northbound State Highway 121 ramp, causing officials to close traffic lanes while the spilled fuel is cleared.

One of three traffic lanes on westbound State Highway 183 and the northbound ramp to State Highway 121 were closed as of early afternoon, Bedford police Lt. Kirk Roberts said.

It’s likely the wreckage won’t be removed until 7 p.m., Lt. Roberts said, because workers are cleaning the fuel spill before they remove the overturned truck

The truck driver was transported in serious condition to Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital, police said.
