Potentially important evidence may include: Electronic control module data from both tractors Dash-camera and onboard video GPS and telematics records Electronic logging-device information Driver hours-of-service records Dispatch communications Tractor and trailer inspection records Brake and tire maintenance histories Cargo and loading records Crash-scene photographs and measurements Witness statements Comparing electronic information from both trucks may help investigators reconstruct their respective speeds, braking, lane positions, and movements before impact.

An 18-wheeler struck an overpass near Interstate 27 and South Loop 289 in Lubbock Tuesday afternoon, causing significant traffic disruptions on the frontage roads.

The main lanes of both I-27 and Loop 289 remained open. https://www.kcbd.com Authorities reported no serious injuries. https://www.kcbd.com What Happened in the Lubbock 18-Wheeler Bridge Crash? According to Lubbock Fire Rescue, the semi was traveling north on the I-27 access road when it struck the overpass carrying the eastbound Loop 289 frontage road above it. The collision blocked the northbound frontage road beneath the bridge. Drivers could still enter the interstate, but they could not continue beneath the South Loop bridge to access the cloverleaf leading to westbound Loop 289. TxDOT said traffic remained disrupted as of approximately 8 p.m. Tuesday night. Why Would an 18-Wheeler Strike an Overpass? A commercial truck bridge strike can raise several different investigative questions. Depending on the circumstances, investigators may examine: The overall height of the tractor, trailer, and cargo Whether equipment or cargo extended above the trailer Posted bridge-clearance information The driver's planned route GPS and navigation records Dispatch instructions Whether the truck was operating on a permitted route Trailer and cargo configuration Whether mechanical or equipment problems contributed The fact that the truck struck the bridge does not, by itself, establish why the collision occurred. Truck Height and Route Records May Be Important Evidence When clearance becomes an issue in an 18-wheeler crash, investigators may need to measure both the commercial vehicle and the structure that was struck. The motor carrier may also possess records showing the truck's route, cargo, dimensions, dispatch instructions, GPS history, and communications with the driver. Physical inspection of the tractor, trailer, and any equipment being transported may help determine exactly what portion of the truck contacted the bridge. Injured in a Texas 18-Wheeler Wreck?
