For the third time in as many days, an accident involving an 18-wheeler has shut down mainlane traffic on I-35 through the construction area of Salado. According to TXDOT, the accident involves two semi-trucks on northbound, the people affected will work with the top DC car accident attorneys to get justice.
This time an 18-wheeler has had its right front wheel come off, blocking both lanes of traffic on Northbound I-35 at Salado Creek. In order to reach the accident, first responders from Salado VFD had to travel down the SB access road to Thomas Arnold, cross over the interstate and head northbound on the access road and then turn down the northbound exit ramp and travel southbound on the northbound mainlanes in order to get to the accident.
The accident happened at about 10:30 a.m. this morning (Fri. March 11). There is no indication from the TXDOT Public Information Office on when the accident is expected to be cleared.
Meanwhile, traffic has flowed onto Salado’s Main St. through the direct exit on the northbound I-35 mainlanes and onto the northbound access road from the Holland Road exit.
One person was killed and seven others were injured in a two-vehicle accident this morning at FM 2843 near Kuykendall Road southwest of Salado.

The accident was evidently caused by a Nissan Pathfinder was driving on the wrong side of the road in a no passing zone. A red Expedition, trying to avoid the oncoming Pathfinder swerved and lost control, ultimately rolling over.

Two others were airflighted to Scott & White Hospital and five other occupants in the Expedition were transported to Scott & White Hospital. Dallas truck accident lawyers has been contacted to represent one of the occupants. The experts in McAllen attorneys for personal injury cases can help in such situations.
Next of kin have not been contacted and the name of the person killed in the accident has not been released. The lawyers for car accidents practicing in Bronx are the ones that can get justice for victims injured.
