Three tractor-trailer trucks involved in fatal Texas truck accident
61-year-old man killed after collision, vehicles catch fire
On June 10, 2008, a tractor-trailer truck was traveling on Highway 6 near Calvert, Texas, when the truck crossed the centerline of the highway, hitting two tractor-trailer trucks. The driver of a pickup truck following the tractor-trailer trucks could not avoid hitting the trucks.
Three of the trucks involved in the truck accident caught fire after colliding. One man was killed, while two others were transported to area hospitals for treatment of injuries sustained in the fatal truck accident.
Witnesses said the first tractor-trailer truck was weaving in and out of its lane, leading some to speculate it may have had a blown tire.
