San Antonio, Texas (August 22, 2020) – A 35-year-old man was injured on Thursday in a two-vehicle crash involving an 18-wheeler in San Antonio’s Southeast side, according to deputies.

The crash occurred on Thursday, August 20, in the 12000 block of U.S. Highway 181 South.

Deputies said the man was driving a small blue sedan when he rear-ended the 18-wheeler.

The impact caused the man to be partially ejected from his car, but he was able to pull himself back into the car after hitting the windshield. He was airlifted to a local hospital with a lot of abdominal pain.

The crash closed all lanes of the highway, but they were later reopened.

The authorities are investigating the crash.

We wish the injured victim a quick recovery.

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.
