Two 18-wheelers crash on Texas highway
Northlake, TX – A Texas highway was shut down following a two-truck accident.
Highway 114 was completely shut down following a crash involving two 18-wheelers near the Texas Motor Speedway on Tuesday.
The truck accident occurred at the intersection of I-35W just after 11 p.m. Tuesday night.
According to police, one of the 18-wheeler trucks was turning onto the southbound I-35W frontage road when another 18-wheeler that was going eastbound on Hwy 114 crashed into it.
Luckily, no one sustained any injuries but both trucks incurred damage and a large amount of diesel fuel spilled onto the highway as a result of the crash.
Authorities closed down both directions of Hwy 114 until mid-Tuesday morning to clean up the wreckage.

Let us not forget the idiot car drivers who take for granted that an 18 wheeler does not have the ability to stop as quickly as a car when said idiot car driver pulls in front of the truck driver or cuts them off in traffic. Your firm should be ashamed praying on people who have to make a living driving trucks to deliver goods whether you directly or indirectly benefit! The traffic accident you referred to in Northlake happened to be my father’s co- worker who hit the truck traveling southbound because the truck pulled in front of my dad’s co-worker! They are called accidents for a reason and it’s not always because the truck driver is speeding or sleepy. Before you try to make a case against truck drivers perhaps you should walk in their shoes and work the crappy hours that no one else will work to get your and the rest of the worlds product delivered. The truck to which your referring was traveling to a job site to deliver material for concrete for an office building probably much like the one in which you and your staff work in each day and chase lawsuits, push paper and write ridiculous postings such as this one. Your field is a travesty and while I appreciate that there are truly situations that deserve prosecution, pontificating a suit to enrich your finances and twist the facts is disgusting.
