Midland, TX — August 13, 2025, an officer sustained injuries as the result of an 18-wheeler accident early Wednesday morning on Highway 349.
Preliminary details about the accident say that it happened north of town near the intersection of Highway 349 and Craddick Highway.
According to officials, a Midland Police officer was in a patrol vehicle going along the highway. In events which aren’t clear, the patrol vehicle and an 18-wheeler crossed paths and collided. This resulted in the police vehicle overturning.
Authorities say the officer was taken to a hospital “as a precaution.” No other injuries were reported. At this time, additional details are unavailable.

Even someone taken from an 18-wheeler accident is “as a precaution,” it’s still important to take the crash seriously. I’ve had cases where someone seemed okay after a serious collision with a commercial vehicle. Days after the crash, however, and overlooked injury got worse and worse until the injury became debilitating. That’s why truck wrecks like this all deserve prompt and thorough investigations. The hope is that everything turns out fine, but it’s a whole lot better to be over-prepared in the best case scenario than under-prepared in the worst case scenario.
