Dallas Truck Accident Sends One to Hospital

Posted on Aug 12, 2011

A Dallas truck accident involving a sedan driving the wrong way sends a woman to the hospital after her vehicle collides with an 18-wheeler before the early-morning commute. The incident took place at approximately 3:00 on Friday morning, August 5, 2011, along Interstate 30.

According to reports, a woman was driving the wrong way on the eastbound lanes of I-30 when her vehicle collided with a truck near the Second Avenue ramps. Rescue crews transported the female driver to a local hospital where she was listed in critical condition. Details concerning the unidentified woman's injuries were not immediately made available.

It was unclear as to whether the driver of the truck was injured in the crash. His identity was not immediately made known.

The accident forced emergency crews to shut down all eastbound lanes to allow haz-mat crews to clean up an unspecified amount of diesel fuel that leaked from the truck. The crash also caused heavy delays for early-morning commuters.

The Dallas truck accident is still under investigation by local authorities. Police have yet to determine why the woman was driving the wrong way.

This is an unfortunate incident, and we wish everyone involved in the accident a speedy recovery.
