Angelina County, Texas (June 26, 2020) – Three people, including two children, were injured Thursday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash in Angelina County, according to the Texas DPS.

The crash occurred at about 4:30 p.m. on June 25, at the intersection of State Highway 103 and State Highway 7.

DPS said 33-year-old Benjamin Bauld was driving a Ford pickup westbound on SH 7 and turned left to cross SH 103 to get onto a private drive.

Bauld drove into the path of a semi-truck driven by 31-year-old Jorge Vasquez and was hit.

Bauld was airlifted to a Tyler hospital in an unknown condition.

A 10-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy in the pickup truck were taken to a Lufkin hospital for treatment.

Vasquez was uninjured in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.

We hope the injured victims recover quickly.

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 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 will be useful in such scenarios. 

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