West, TX (March 28, 2023) - A firefighter was killed after being struck by a semi-truck in West on Tuesday afternoon, March 28.
The fatal crash was reported on Interstate 35 near Exit 354 as a crew of emergency units was assisting with traffic control. A firetruck and two others units were on the side of the interstate, and a semi-truck crashed into the vehicles.
A firefighter was transported to Baylor Scott and White Hospital in critical condition, and he later succumbed to his injuries. Two officers were also hospitalized for treatment. The area was closed for several hours while emergency crews were present.
No additional information has been provided at this time.
An ongoing investigation into the cause of the deadly accident is underway.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.
Those traveling in passenger cars make up the majority of the fatalities in collisions between commercial vehicles and those in smaller cars. The passengers of a car typically sustain the most damage in a collision since it is so much smaller than a massive 18-wheeler. Large semi-trucks can easily weigh 20 to 30 times more than a car or pickup truck. Due to its size and better ground clearance specifications, the passenger car is at risk of being completely totaled in the event of a collision. Contact an attorney if you or a loved one was injured in a serious trucking accident.
In the course of our lives, we all run into a variety of challenges. The worst-case scenario can be when a family member dies unexpectedly due to the thoughtless, reckless, or intentional conduct of another person. The surviving family may, in some circumstances, be eligible to submit what is known as a Texas wrongful death claim.
No matter the situation, losing a loved one is extremely difficult for those closest to the victim. The challenges are made more challenging when someone else is at fault for their death. You can be mourning the loss of an inheritance, an income, and the support and care that your loved one provided. To guarantee that you are treated properly by the law, you need an experienced attorney on your side.
