Royse City, TX (August 10, 2023) - On Monday morning, August 7, two people were killed after a wrong-way collision involving a semi-truck in the Royse City area.
The deadly accident took place on Interstate 30 EB near Farm to Market Road 35 at around 8:30 a.m. It was reported that a tractor-trailer was traveling westbound when it crossed into oncoming traffic and hit two other vehicles. One of the cars that was hit caught fire.
Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene. Two people inside the flaming vehicle were killed. Their identities have not been revealed at this time.
All eastbound lanes on the interstate were closed for several hours. No additional information has been provided at this time.
An ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident is in progress.
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased victims at this time.
Collisions involving large 18-wheelers are some of the most devastating possible. In 2022, the Texas Department of Transportation reported that there were 5,620 trucking accidents reported across the state. The state has nearly double the national fatality rate as it concerns semi-truck crashes, with 1,228 reported fatalities in trucking collisions compared to 928 deadly crashes nationwide. Statistics also show that 4,804 people are hurt annually in trucking accidents across the state. We all share the road with semi-trucks occasionally, and most of us in Texas do not think twice about it. However, a sense of fear often comes with passing one of these large commercial rigs, and there is a good reason. An 18-wheeler can cause complete devastation when it collides with a passenger car, and these types of crashes are much more likely to end in fatal or life-threatening injuries. Sadly, many people lose their lives in trucking accidents in Texas each year. Many families are reeling from the loss of a loved one after a fatal accident. Unfortunately, this means that many are not thinking about their ability to seek legal action and financially recover from any resulting damages.
