Six injured in Bexar County 18-wheeler crash


Posted on Aug 02, 2010

Five men were injured when the driver of a tractor-trailer on Interstate 10 fell asleep and rear-ended a welding truck in East Bexar County.
 
The South Texas 18-wheeler accident occurred around 6:40 a.m. on Monday, August 2.  Both the tractor-trailer and pickup were headed west-bound on I-10 when the 65-year-old driver of the 18-wheeler fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into the back of the pickup.
 
The crash sent both vehicles off the roadway and down a steep embankment. The semi truck rolled over and spilled its load of candy all over the westbound access road.
 
The truck driver bumped his head in the crash. He appeared dazed from the injury. The five men inside the welding truck sustained minor injuries. They were taken to Northeast Baptist and Northeast Methodist hospitals for treatment.
 
At this time, the driver of the tractor-trailer is not expected to face charges. However, the accident is under investigation and the Texas Department of Transportation may look into the driver's records.
