An auto collision between a car and a semi-truck on Texas 285 near Falfurrias sent six people to a hospital, last April 30, according to a local news source.
Just before 5:00 p.m., Texas Department of Public Safety officials responded to a major crash on Texas 285. An initial investigation shows that a semi-truck was traveling along the highway when it crashed into a passenger vehicle, pushing it off the road. The semi-truck then collided with another car which prompted a chain-reaction crash. Police said that the semi-truck was not able to slow down as it approached a slower-moving traffic ahead.
One person died as a result of the accident. Six people sustained various injuries but their condition was not immediately released.
No identification has been released as of this writing.
Texas DPS officials are still determining liability. The investigation is ongoing.
We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the friends and families of the injured victims. We pray for their full recovery as we hope that the Falfurrias Police Department will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
Injuries caused by vehicle collisions can vary from crash to crash. Some injuries may heal within a span of days while others could paralyze a victim’s body for a month. The most commonly known car accident injuries include neck and chest and head and back injuries. Broken and ligament damages are also quite common.
Sometimes, a car accident can cause serious injuries to multiple parties—and filing a claim can get complicated. To make sure your claim is successful, you need to gather supporting evidence and documents that can back up your claim. It could be a detailed account of the accident you are involved in or documents indicating the extent of injuries you sustained. These may include a video or photograph of the scene, police reports, and medical records, to name a few.
