One Injured in 18-wheeler Accident on Highway 80 in Grand Saline, TX
Grand Saline, TX — March 30, 2023, one person was injured due to an 18-wheeler accident which occurred on Highway 80 near Fruitvale.
Preliminary details released by Grand Saline EMS officials say that the crash happened at around 7:30 a.m. along Highway 80 near Forest Lane. Initial statements say that an 18-wheeler was going along the highway when it somehow lost control. The 18-wheeler ran off the roadway where it crashed. Details in the news say that the "cab had come detached from the frame."

One person involved had to be flown to a hospital for treatment. Right now, additional details surrounding the crash are unavailable. As this seems to be a single-vehicle incident, my hope is that the crash is getting the attention it deserves. There are a lot of complex reasons a commercial truck can lose control over which drivers can have little or no control. But a lot of people are quick to just assume the driver did something wrong. That's possible, but it's important to avoid jumping to conclusions until there's been a proper investigation into the facts.
