Bell County, Texas (July 21, 2021) – According to the authorities, one person was killed, and five others were seriously injured Tuesday morning in a multi-vehicle crash in Bell County, near the Bell Expo Center.

The fatal crash happened just before 11:00 a.m., July 20, on northbound Interstate 35 near Shanklin Road south of Belton.

Authorities said traffic was backed up in a construction zone when a chain-reaction collision involving seven vehicles occurred.

One person was killed in the crash. The victim’s identity has not been released.

At least five other people were taken to Scott & White Medical Center in Temple with incapacitating injuries.

Six other people were involved in the crash, but they were not seriously injured.

The crash closed the northbound lanes of traffic for several hours.

The crash remains under investigation.

“When a person has suffered a grave personal injury in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, the most overwhelming emotion they feel is a sense of injustice. They often ask how such a life-altering event could have happened to them,” attorney Joel A. Gordon said. “The next question usually is, who can help me?” Mr. Gordon added.

A legal advocate can represent an injury victim or the family of a deceased victim. The attorney will file a claim on behalf of the victim and will have the responsibility of citing existing codes, laws, or statutes which were violated.
