Officials indicate that, for unknown reasons, the pickup was unable to safely maintain its lane of travel in the rainy and wet road conditions. It reportedly veered right and off of the roadway where it rolled and came to a stop. During the accident, the pickup allegedly lost one of its tires, which entered the lane of travel and was run over by an 18-wheeler that had been traveling in the right-hand lane of southbound I.H. 45. This caused the 18-wheelers tire to blow out. The 18-wheeler’s tire reportedly struck a Ford Mustang which had been traveling in the left-hand southbound lane.

The 39-year-old sole occupant of the Chevy pickup truck reportedly sustained suspected serious injuries as a result of the incident; he was taken to a local medical facility in order to receive treatment. No other injuries have been reported.

Additional details pertaining to this incident—including the identities of those involved—are not available at this point in time. The investigation is ongoing.
