Houston Truck Accident SUV & Cargo Truck

According to Alexander Supgul from MyFox Houston – A female driver lost control of her sport utility vehicle, crashing into an 18-wheeler cargo truck in west Houston and survived the vehicle becoming lodged beneath the truck.

The accident took place on August 14th at approximately 1:30 a.m. Friday on Interstate 10, the Katy Freeway westbound, near the Park Ten Boulevard exit.

Officers say the driver likely fell asleep because she was not intoxicated and told police that she did not remember what took place.

The driver was traveling at a higher rate of speed than the cargo truck and made such a hard impact with the SUV that it became lodged under the Federal Express truck, according to investigators.

The truck dragged the SUV for a short distance before the truck driver was able to stop it in the shoulder lane.

The SUV driver was taken to a hospital with minor injuries but investigators say she avoided more serious injuries because the airbags in the SUV deployed. The driver of the cargo truck was not hurt.
