Amarillo, TX (August 18, 2023) - On Wednesday, August 16, there were reported injuries following a traffic accident in Amarillo.
The accident was first reported on Interstate 40 EB near the exit at Pullman Road at around 10 a.m. A semi-truck was reportedly involved in a crash with a pickup truck, and emergency responders were dispatched to the scene. The highway was shut down while emergency crews were present.
At this time, the severity and number of resulting injuries have not been confirmed. Limited information on the accident is currently available. The area was later reopened after tow trucks were able to remove the resulting debris.
An ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident is in progress. More information will be provided as it progresses.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
A collision involving a large commercial rig can cause complete devastation to those traveling in smaller vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System revealed that the state of Texas experienced 643 trucking fatalities in 2020. A total of 342 of these accidents involved the drivers of another vehicle, and 108 of these deaths were passengers in other vehicles. It should not be too surprising that nearly half of these deadly accidents involved speeds exceeding 65 miles per hour. When you are involved in a crash with a semi-truck, you are at greater risk of suffering life-threatening injuries. The size and weight of these massive vehicles mean that passenger cars are no match to face the full impact. It is advised that you work with a trained attorney if you were injured in a trucking accident. After an 18-wheeler accident, you need to make sure you are able to make a full recovery. However, this means that you have to go up against a large trucking company.
