Wheeler County, TX — November 12, 2023, one person was killed and three others were injured in a truck accident at approximately 8:15 a.m. along I.H. 40.
According to reports, three 18-wheelers—each with trailers in tow—were stopped in traffic on behind the other in the right-hand lane of westbound Interstate 40 directly south of the Shamrock Municipal Airports when the incident occurred.
For unknown reasons, a fourth 18-wheeler neglected to stop for the traffic, rear-ending one of the 18-wheelers which resulted in a chain reaction of collisions. The 26-year-old driver of the vehicle which initiated the first collision was killed as a result of the accident. The 23-year-old man who was a passenger in that vehicle reportedly incurred severe injuries. The drivers of two of the other 18-wheelers involved sustained minor injures. All three were transported to local medical facilities by EMS in order to receive necessary treatment.
The accident is under investigation by local authorities. The weather and road conditions at the time were reportedly foggy and dry. Additional details—including the identities of those involved—are not available at this point in time.
