The Texas Department of Public Saftey said that a wreck on Interstate 14 between a car and a mixer truck left one person with injuries, Wednesday morning.
According to Nolanville Police Department, emergency crews were requested in a major accident just before 6:00 a.m. A concrete-mixer truck was traveling along the eastbound lanes of Interstate 14 when it was sideswiped by a red 2014 Volkswagen car. Based on initial investigation, the Volkswagen attempted to change lanes but ended up onto the path of the truck.
The impact of the collision left the driver of the Volkswagen with unknown injuries. He was rushed to Seton Medical Center-Harker Heights for treatment. The driver of the truck was not injured.
No identification has been released.
Police continues to investigate the accident.
Our deepest sympathies go out to the families of the injured victims. We are hoping and praying for a fast recovery of both parties.
Car collisions are extremely prevalent in Texas. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, one person is getting injured in approximately two minutes. Unfortunately, despite the government’s aggressive efforts to educate drivers about safety, the cases of speeding, driving under the influence, and negligence are still on the rise. In fact, most of the common causes of accidents in the state are due to the driver’s lack of awareness and precaution.
Knowing the statistics helps us to be more aware of how our choices can affect other people’s lives. For instance, driving while under the influence of alcohol and illegal drugs dramatically increase your risk of being involved in a crash by roughly 16% and 24%, respectively. While these cases are extremely dangerous, these can be prevented by making the right decisions. Before hitting the road, know those car accidents leave scars and trauma that can be devastating for the victims. For this reason, it is important that you take all the necessary precautions to avoid it.
