The tragic accident occurred around 6:05 a.m. on State Highway 94, approximately one mile north of Farm-to-Market Road 3317, near Groveton. According to the preliminary investigation, a 1995 Chevrolet pickup was traveling westbound on SH 94, followed by a 2017 Dodge Ram pickup.
A log-hauling 1989 Mack truck tractor semi-trailer was pulling out of a private drive to head east. The Mack truck driver was unable to yield, resulting in the Chevrolet and the Dodge striking the trailer being towed by the Mack.
The victim, who was driving the Chevrolet, was pronounced dead at the scene by a Trinity County Justice of the Peace. The driver of the Dodge was also identified as 38-year-old Bradley M. and was transported to Crockett Medical Center for treatment.
The Mack driver has been identified as 54-year-old Richard E. of Corrigan, who was uninjured at the time of the accident. Local authorities are still investigating the collision.
Fatal Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics
In Texas, anyone can be killed in a car accident at any time. Numerous fatal automobile accidents have occurred in densely populated urban areas such as Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, Texas.
Texas is the world’s largest state in terms of both population and road length. It is home to some of the busiest highways in the country. In Texas, over 3,500 people have been killed and 246,000 have been injured in traffic accidents. This location was the scene of a fatal multi-vehicle collision.
When three or more automobiles collide on the road, a multi-vehicle accident occurs. When one car collides with another, causing that vehicle to collide with the next, a “chain reaction” occurs. Whatever the cause of your loved one’s fatal accident, a car accident lawyer can provide valuable guidance on what to do next.
