Colorado County, TX — July 5, 2024, a Seguin man sustained injuries due to a semi-truck accident which happened around 12:27 a.m. along Interstate 10.
According to initial details about the accident, it happened off westbound lanes of the interstate near F.M. 102, in the Alleyton area east of Columbus.
Investigators said that a 64-year-old Seguin man was in a Freightliner going along I-10. In a series of events not confirmed, the truck and a Volkswagen Passat also going westbound side-swiped each other. The truck lost control, and it ran off the side of the road. There, the truck overturned.
The Seguin man in the semi sustained serious injuries. The other driver apparently wasn’t hurt. Right now, additional details about the crash are unavailable.

Beyond the inherent concern of investigating what caused the crash, semi-truck rollovers in particular don’t always get the attention they need. It’s an issue in the industry that often slips through the cracks. Despite the technology existing, a lot of manufacturers continue to build and sell trucks which fail to adequately protect occupants in the event of a rollover.
This will continue to cause truckers to be seriously injured or killed in accidents where they should be able to walk away okay. Maybe that isn’t what happened here, but it could prove to be an important detail to follow up on. If authorities didn’t look into the condition of the victim’s truck after the accident, it would raise concerns about what else they may have overlooked.
