Tyler, TX (August 21, 2023) - There were reported injuries after a two-vehicle collision that occurred in the Tyler area on Thursday evening, August 17.
The accident was reported on US-271 near Loop 323 at around 5 p.m. A semi-truck reportedly collided with a small pickup truck near the scene. The vehicles knocked out a nearby signal box. This caused the immediate area to lose electricity.
At least one person involved suffered injuries. HAZMAT teams were called to the scene to assist with a spill coming from the commercial vehicle. At this time, no additional information has been provided.
An ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash is in progress. More information will become available as it continues.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
The majority of cargo in the United States is transported by large trucks, and there have already been 57,000 trucking accidents reported nationwide this year according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Texas plays a key role in the national transportation system. With so many large highways crisscrossing throughout the state, it is common to see large commercial vehicles transporting cargo from east to west. Unfortunately, this has resulted in an increased risk of serious trucking accidents in the Lone Star State. In fact, nearly 10 percent of national trucking accidents take place in the state. There were 6,740 large truck accidents reported in Texas in 2022 alone. Unfortunately, more than half of trucking accidents result in injuries. Thousands of people are killed in collisions involving large trucks each year. There are some key things you need to do if you are involved in a serious semi-truck accident. You need to make sure you take care of your health. That is why you always need to seek medical treatment after a serious collision. You need to make sure you are checked out in order to determine the severity of your injuries. Sometimes, it can be hard to detect how seriously you were hurt in an 18-wheeler crash, and seeing a doctor can help establish a connection between the accident and your injuries. After going to the hospital or emergency room, you need to talk with people who may have seen your accident take place.
