Fatal Wreck


This one is very sad. On friday 7/11 at about 12:30pm, we were in the Irving area around the 820 Loop going around the Dallas/Fort Worth area. We were waiting to find out where an empty trailer was to go pick up, when we noticed this very black smoke up ahead of us. We figured this was about the area of the freeway, so I jumped on the computer and brought up the CBS station for that area, we could see the news choppers coming thru the area. It was a fatal wreck, it said a cement truck didn't see that the traffic was stopped for construction and slammed into a car, instantly killing the 25 yr old man inside, and made a decision to slam into a tanker near by instead of a line of cars. The cement truck broke into piece and exploded into fire, the tanker it slammed into burst into flames and the tractor burned to the ground, the engine was the only thing left after the fire was put out. I never went back on the site to find out the condition of the two truck drivers.
