The traffic accident took place on the southbound lanes of the highway near Berry Street, just after 5:00 a.m. According to police reports, local firefighters were assisting in a crash when an oncoming vehicle, for yet unknown reasons, struck the truck. The driver of the car lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a wall.
An unspecified number of people sustained injuries from the second crash. Fortunately, no firefighters were injured. It was not confirmed if the injured victims were treated at the scene or sent to a hospital.
Traffic was backed up for about a mile as responding officers clear up the scene. An investigation is underway.
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 Fort Worth 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.
