Wolfforth, TX (August 11, 2023) - One person was seriously hurt following a two-vehicle collision in the Wolfforth area on Monday afternoon, August 7.
The accident was reported on US-82 near County Road 7300 at around 1:20 p.m. A pickup truck was reportedly traveling on the county road when it collided with an 18-wheeler. The truck driver was transported to University Medical Center for treatment.
The area was temporarily closed while emergency responders were present. Tow trucks were dispatched to clear the debris and reopen the roadway. At this time, no further information on the accident has been provided.
Local law enforcement officials are conducting an investigation into the cause of the accident. As the investigation continues, more details will be released.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for a full recovery.
The impact of a crash involving an 18-wheeler will almost certainly be much more severe than a typical traffic accident. Texas has one of the highest rates of fatal trucking accidents in the country. According to data from the Texas Department of Transportation, there were 5,620 trucking accidents reported across the state in 2022, and 928 of these collisions contributed to 1,228 deaths that year. Hundreds of thousands of semi-truck crashes take place across the United States each year, and injured parties need to be ready to pursue compensation for their injuries after a serious crash. You are not alone if a reckless truck driver hurt you. You may not know what you need to do to protect your legal rights after a crash, but a trained attorney will. You need a compassionate legal representative who knows how to make sure you are able to get maximum compensation for your injuries. We can also help determine who is at fault for your accident. Semi-truck collisions involve several distinct parties, including truck drivers, other motorists, transportation companies, and even third-party parts manufacturers. You need someone who is able to go through the facts of your case to find out who is responsible for your injuries. You need to move fast after a trucking accident. The company that employs the truck driver will send someone out right away in order to start collecting evidence. You probably do not even know what to look for to back up your case. That is why you should consult a qualified attorney right away. This is often the best way to ensure your case gets off on the best footing and that you can pursue maximum compensation for your damages.
