Dallas, TX (June 16, 2022) – A motor vehicle accident reported in the Dallas area early Monday morning has claimed one person’s life. At around 2 a.m., on June 13, the Dallas County Sheriff’s office responded with Dallas Fire-Rescue crews to the scene of the crash on Interstate 30.
Reports provided by local authorities indicate that a Chevrolet Malibu was stalled on the eastbound side of Interstate 30 in the area near dolphin Road during the early morning hours. For unknown reasons, a box truck traveling through the area struck the Malibu. A pickup truck then collided with the box truck. A sedan then came along and struck the truck.
One person involved in the accident suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The Sheriff’s office closed off the interstate for several hours as they worked to clear the scene and investigate.
At this time, investigations are ongoing.
We would like to offer our warmest condolences to the family of the victim who lost their life in this accident. Our thoughts are with them at this time.
Fatal Truck Accidents in Texas
Motor vehicle accidents take the lives of more than 4400 people every year in the state of Texas. Unfortunately, hundreds of people lose their lives in accidents involving trucks. Semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles are much larger than most passenger vehicles on the road. As a result, they are more likely to cause significant damage during collisions.
Although we want to believe that everybody is careful and considerate of every other person driving on roadways in our state, this is far from reality. We constantly see people lose their lives in motor vehicle collisions due to motorists who engage in reckless, negligent, and malicious actions while operating their vehicles. Some of the most common causes of fatal accidents in Texas include:
- failing to yield to others
- changing lanes in a reckless manner
- driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- driving while using cell phones or while distracted by other means
When people engage in these and other reckless actions while behind the wheel, they put everyone else’s lives on the road at risk.
