Coriscana, TX — A pickup truck rear-ended another truck (owned by a company) that resulted in two men being injured outside of Corsicana this past Monday, July 13, 2015. The news said that Roberto Rojas, 24, and Juan Rodriguez, 20, were both injured and taken to a local hospital in Tyler after the accident, which happened around 7:00 a.m. that morning. According to the news reports, both Rojas and Rodriguez were passengers in a white truck that accidentally rear-ended a work truck on Highway 31.

The work truck had been driving east on Highway 31 that morning, carrying lawn and maintenance workers, when the driver slowed down to turn into a parking lot.

As he did so, another pickup truck (believed to be the one pictured) came upon it and failed to brake in time, crashing into the back of the work truck.

Roberto Rojas and Juan Rodriguez were both in the white pickup truck and were injured such that they needed a medical helicopter to taken them to East Texas Medical Center in Tyler.

Four other people (believed to be workers in the lawn truck) were also taken to hospitals for their injuries as well, but they were not as badly hurt. Right now, the cause of the accident is still being investigated.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
