A truck driver died as a result of a solo-vehicle collision on Farm to Market Road 834 near Hardin, Tuesday.
According to a report released by local officials, a semi-truck was heading east on FM 834 when, for reasons that had not been determined, it went out of control, slammed into a guardrail, and overturned a number of times before landed on a creek. The driver, identified only as a vacuum truck driver for Daisetta-based C & L Vacuum Service, sustained serious injuries from the force of the impact. He was pronounced dead by Liberty County Pct. 3 Justice of the Peace Cody Parrish who was called to the scene to make the pronouncement of death. No autopsy was ordered.

According to statistics, at least one person dies from a car accident every two minutes. Most common causes of Texas car accidents include unsafe lane change, following too closely or tailgating, failing to yield, and speeding.
While on the road, it is important to avoid any form of distractions and be completely aware of our surroundings. We have to be reminded of how our choices while behind the wheel can affect other people’s lives.
