One Killed in Royse City Three-Vehicle Crash on Interstate 30

Royse City, Texas (October 26, 2021) – One person was killed Tuesday morning in a three-vehicle crash in Royse City, according to the police.

The fatal crash happened on Interstate 30, near the Circle Drive and Erby Campbell Boulevard exits.

Police said traffic was slowed down along the interstate when a semi-truck rear-ended another semi-truck, pushing it into a car.

The driver of the first semi-truck was pronounced dead at the scene. Their identity has not been released.

The driver who was rear-ended was uninjured in the crash.

The people inside the car were taken to the hospital in unknown conditions.

The crash closed the westbound lanes of Interstate 30.

The police are investigating the crash.

Commercial trucks are known to cause over 90% of accidents in Houston. These truck drivers must understand that their actions majorly contribute to most of the accidents on the roads. It is also important for others on the same roads with the truck drivers to understand that maximum precaution should be taken while driving near trucks. While small mistakes like ignoring the turn signal prior to turning may cause accidents, major causes of these accidents are rooted in other factors like exhaustion on the part of truck drivers. If the reasons for the crash are anchored to the failure of following the right turn or driving at a speed that is not legally recommended, a personal injury lawyer or a wrongful death lawyer will be useful in such scenarios. 

If you have lost a loved one in an accident with a huge truck, it is advisable to get a lawyer who will facilitate the process of compensation.
