On April 25, 2022, an unusual truck accident occurred on LBJ Freeway (I-695) near Plano Road. Around 1 am in the morning, a man in a Honda Accord was involved in a single-car accident while heading west on LBJ. The event left his car stalled in the far left lane.
Two semi-trucks were also traveling down the road at the same time. Weather conditions were terrible from heavy rain, and one truck entered the left lane to pass the first truck. The semi struck the Honda Accord, smashing the vehicle and killing the driver.
The semi jerked his truck to the right, and his tractor came apart from his trailer upon crashing into the other semi and then catching fire. The semi that was in the right lane was pushed over the side of the road where it jackknifed. One of the truck drivers also lost their life in this accident.
There is an ongoing investigation into this accident, and no further information has been released at this time.
