Hurst, Texas — There hasn’t been any new information released from last week’s fiery accident at Loop 820 and Texas 121 in Hurst. Police said that they were going to investigate the wreck, but never released more details.
If you recall, last Thursday (January 1, 2015) an 18-wheeler truck crashed on Loop 820 and caught fire after swerving to avoid a pickup truck. Road conditions were potentially icy that afternoon, and a pickup truck had stopped along the Loop 820 flyover at Texas 121 because the driver thought he saw icy.
As he did so, an 18-wheeler behind him had to swerve to avoid an accident and jackknifed in the process. The 18-wheeler spun into a guardrail and started to leak some fuel, which started a fire.
The driver was able to get out of his truck and he was later taken to a hospital, though it’s not clear what his injuries were. There’s no word on whether any charges were filed against anyone in this accident.
