Two women were killed in a crash involving an 18-wheeler and a sedan in North Richland Hills on Tuesday afternoon. According to police, the crash happened around 12:30 p.m. in the eastbound lanes of Northeast Loop 820 Expressway near Holiday Lane. The North Richland Hills Fire Department extricated two women from the car, and both were pronounced dead at the scene. Why This Matters Fatal crashes involving 18-wheelers and passenger vehicles require a detailed investigation because the size and weight difference between the vehicles can lead to catastrophic injuries. Investigators may need to determine whether speed, following distance, lane changes, braking, driver distraction, truck driver fatigue, roadway conditions, mechanical issues, vehicle positioning, or company safety practices contributed to the collision. Evidence such as crash scene measurements, traffic camera footage, dashcam video, witness statements, vehicle damage, truck inspection records, driver logs, maintenance records, and event data recorder information may be critical in determining responsibility. How Wooley Law Can Help If you lost a loved one in a North Richland Hills 18-wheeler crash, Loop 820 collision, Holiday Lane wreck, or fatal commercial truck accident, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, mental anguish, lost financial support, and other damages.

An 18-wheeler rollover crash caused major traffic delays and a hazmat response at the Finesilver Curve near downtown San Antonio on Thursday morning, June 4, 2026. According to reports, the crash happened on the southbound I-35 connector ramp to westbound I-10, where the 18-wheeler overturned and caused an oil or hazardous materials spill. Hazmat crews responded to the scene, and the interchange remained closed for hours while crews worked to clear the crash and spill. Rollover crashes involving 18-wheelers and tanker trucks can be especially dangerous because of the size of the vehicle, the tight curve of highway ramps, and the risk of fuel, oil, or hazardous material spills. Investigators may need to determine whether speed, braking, driver fatigue, distraction, load weight, shifting cargo, tanker maintenance, roadway design, warning signs, or company safety practices contributed to the crash. Evidence such as dashcam footage, traffic camera video, truck inspection records, maintenance logs, electronic logging data, cargo records, hazmat response records, and event data recorder information may be critical in determining what happened. If you were injured in a San Antonio 18-wheeler crash, Finesilver Curve rollover, I-35/I-10 tanker wreck, or hazardous materials spill accident, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, mental anguish, impairment, disfigurement, and other damages.

Why This Matters Fatal crashes involving commercial trucks require a careful investigation, even when early reports suggest a passenger vehicle struck the truck from behind.
