Are Texas Highways Safe?
Experienced Dallas truck wreck accident attorney, Brian Eberstein, states Texas roadways are highly trafficked by tractor-trailers and semi-trucks every day.
Unfortunately, drivers and passengers are seriously injured daily on Texan highways. Two tractor-trailer drivers were pronounced dead last Monday morning on U.S. Highway 281 South. The reported fatal accident occurred 10 miles south of Mineral Falls when the trucks collided head-on. The Texas Highway Patrol (THP), a division of the Texas Department of Public Safety, closed U.S. 281 in both directions. The Mineral Wells Volunteer Fire Department worked tirelessly to remove the two mortally injured drivers from the cabs of their mangled trucks.
