Travis County, TX (February 2, 2023) – A Travis County Sheriff’s Office deputy was injured as a result of a truck crash that took place on Tuesday morning in Travis County.
On January 31, the Texas Department of Public Safety responded to the scene of a major traffic accident on Texas State Highway 130.
According to law enforcement, a deputy with the Travis County Sheriff’s Office was providing assistance to the driver of an 18-wheeler that had gone off the roadway in the 3900 block of Texas State Highway 130.
While at the scene, a second 18-wheeler slate on the roadway struck the deputy. The deputy became pinned under the tire of the vehicle.
Firefighters and police responded to the scene of the accident to provide assistance.
The deputy was removed and rushed to an area hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery.
At this time, the incident remains under investigation.
We hope the deputy injured as a result of this accident is able to recover quickly.
Truck accidents in the state of Texas take place far too often. In fact, thousands of people are left injured as a result of these accidents every single year. In many cases, negligent and reckless actions lead to these accidents taking place. When drivers fail to operate their vehicles in a responsible manner, they place the lives of everyone nearby at risk. Unfortunately, there are many accidents that can be attributed to inclement weather conditions as well.
During the winter months, we see many truck accidents take place as a result of icy road conditions. For one, icy road conditions can make it incredibly difficult for commercial trucks to break and come to a stop. This is due to the weight of the trucks, which makes it harder for the tires to grip the roadway.
Additionally, icy roads increase the risk of trucks sliding or skidding out of control. This is particularly true when traveling down hills or around sharp current roadways. Icy road conditions can also make it difficult for trucks to maintain traction while traveling on them. This can result in problems accelerating or even climbing hills.
Unfortunately, we see many accidents take place involving commercial vehicles during the winter months.
