That afternoon, the accident was reported on US-64 EB near Farm to Market Road 2661 in Smith County. A dump truck reportedly collided with another vehicle, and images from the scene showed that the truck sustained significant front-end damage.

An ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident is in progress.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
In the United States, dump truck accidents continue to be a major source of concern. Between 2015 and 2020, there were 536 dump truck-related fatalities and 7,270 serious injuries reported nationwide, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration reports that the number of dump truck crashes resulting in injuries increased by 2.7 percent to 5,483 in 2016. Many car crash cases will end in a settlement. If the insurance provider is making no reasonable offer, your attorney will advise you not to settle your case. The majority of truck accidents result in serious injuries. It is possible that your recovery will take months or even years. It is crucial that you obtain enough money in a settlement to enable you to rebuild your life and make a complete recovery. In Texas, compensation for vehicle accidents varies from case to case. This is because every case has unique, particular circumstances and facts. Compensation is based in part on what occurred, how it occurred, and how you were affected by the accident. Truck accidents are included in the greater umbrella of personal injury law, and these cases are based on negligence. In addition to lost wages and compensatory damages, you can also be entitled to compensation for your past and future medical costs. There are further forms of monetary damages that you can be eligible for, but each case is unique. You should always discuss your case with an attorney in order to determine its value. A crash involving an 18-wheeler or another big rig can be completely devastating. There is a chance you are in need of financial restitution to cover your damages.
