Belton, TX (March 5, 2024) - On Tuesday, March 5, a sheriff’s deputy was injured in a trucking accident during a training in the Belton area. The victim was apparently on their way to a training session when they were involved in a crash with an 18-wheeler. The commercial truck hit their vehicle from behind.
The deputy suffered injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. At this time, the circumstances leading to the crash have not been determined. The identity of the injured party has been withheld.
Emergency responders were present to render aid to the injured party. The scene was closed for several hours until the resulting wreckage could be removed. No further information on the crash is currently available. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident is underway.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for a full recovery.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reports that over 57,000 commercial vehicle accidents occur in the United States annually. In 2022, there were over 6,700 semi-truck collisions in Texas, accounting for more than 10 percent of all truck collisions across the country. Large trucks travel more than 31 billion miles annually on the state's roadways, and it is common to share the road with a massive commercial rig when traveling on Texas highways. Passenger automobiles are involved in over half of trucking accidents, and those who drive in smaller vehicles are more likely to sustain potentially fatal injuries in the event of a trucking accident.
Personal injury lawsuits can be very complicated, and there are particular challenges when it comes to 18-wheeler accidents. These crashes frequently involve a large number of parties. There will be more than just a careless truck driver to contend with. It might have been the trucker's employer, the rig owner, or the maintenance company that contributed to your accident.
