Jefferson County, TX — February 1, 2024, one person was injured in a truck accident shortly before 5:45 a.m. along West Port Arthur Road.
According to reports, an 18-wheeler with a trailer in tow was westbound on Brai Drive at the West Port Arthur Road intersection when the accident took place.
Officials indicate that, for unknown reasons, the 18-wheeler failed to yield right of way to the traffic on West Port Arthur as it began a left hand turn onto southbound West Port Arthur. As a result, the trailer had not cleared the northbound lanes of the road before the approach of an Acura occupied by a 29-year-old man. This caused a collision between the front end of the Acura and the back left side of the trailer.
The 29-year-old man incurred suspected severe injuries as a result of the accident. He was transported to a local medical facility by emergency medical services in order to receive necessary treatment. No other injuries have been reported.
Additional details pertaining to this incident—including the identity of the victim—are not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.
