Norwood, LA — A truck driver from Madison, MS was badly injured last week (Wednesday, October 8, 2014) after his semi-truck was in a wreck with another big rig near Norwood. Police identified the injured truck driver as Lacey David, 40 years old, and they believe that the accident happened because of a tractor in the road.
The accident was reported at about 7:45 p.m. last Wednesday evening, just south of the Louisiana-Mississippi Border. David was driving his semi-truck south along LA Highway 67 that evening while another semi-truck was being driven north by Hardy Williams, 33.
As the two rigs neared each other, they came upon a farm tractor headed north on LA 67 – with no headlights on. The tractor was allegedly in the middle of the highway, which forced both Lacey David and Hardy Williams to crash into each other as they tried to avoid hitting the smaller tractor.
The accident left Lacey David with injuries serious enough to warrant an airlift to a hospital in Baton Rouge. Williams was not harmed.
The tractor was still being searched for, at the last update. It’s not clear if the driver will face any charges for the accident.
