Buda, Texas Woman Killed in 18-Wheeler Crash
Trying to avoid a collision may not always result in the best possible outcome. In some cases, attempting to maneuver around a vehicle could lead to a collision with another vehicle traveling a different way or one that also attempts to avoid a crash. Situations in which a tractor trailer attempts to avoid hitting another vehicle can sometimes result in a truck accident occurring.
A situation recently took place under similar circumstances in Texas. It was reported that a vehicle had stopped or possibly slowed down in order to turn onto another road when a tractor trailer veered in an attempt to avoid colliding with the vehicle. This action took the truck into the opposite lanes of travel where it hit another semi-truck. A vehicle traveling behind the first truck also tried to avoid involvement in the collision, but the vehicle was hit by the second truck.
The driver of the last vehicle involved in the crash suffered fatal injuries. Her vehicle was pushed approximately a quarter of a mile before the truck was able to stop. At this time, the situation is still being investigated. There was no mention of any charges that may be filed in relation to the incident.
