San Angelo, TX (December 9, 2020) – A vehicle collision reported on Tuesday evening in the San Angelo area sent one person to an area hospital with injuries. On December 8, the San Angelo Police Department responded to the scene of a crash on Houston Harte Freeway.

Reports from authorities show that a female was traveling on the Houston Harte Freeway when her vehicle collided with a semi-truck near the Howard Street overpass. A pickup truck was then also involved in the collision. The impact of the crash caused the pickup truck to roll into the center median.

The woman was trapped inside her vehicle. Firefighters responded to the scene of the accident and extricated the woman. She was then transported to an area hospital for further treatment of injuries. At this time, the crash remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the woman who was injured in this accident. We hope for her fast and full recovery.

Truck Accidents in Texas

No one plans to be involved in an auto accident. Regardless of how safe and proactive we are as drivers, we cannot predict the actions of other motorists sharing the road. The unfortunate truth is that nearly 80% of collisions throughout our state each year are caused by driver error. When drivers talk or text on cell phones, change radios, eat, or drive impaired, they place the lives of thousands of others sharing the road at risk.

Each year, auto accidents leave more than 265,000 people in Texas injured. Although the vast majority of collisions result in minor injuries, nearly 20,000 victims are hospitalized with life-altering injuries. Brain and spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and other catastrophic injuries require extensive and painful treatment. Although there are various medications, surgeries, therapy options, and other forms of care available to help victims in the aftermath of collisions, all treatment comes at an extraordinary cost for victims. Rather than moving forward after an accident alone, you should consider reaching out to a car accident attorney in Abilene to explore the legal options available for you.
