San Antonio, TX (February 14, 2022) – A motor vehicle accident reported in the San Antonio area left one person injured. At around 1:35 p.m., on February 8, emergency crews were notified that a truck accident took place on the interstate that required assistance.

Reports from the San Antonio Police Department show that the driver of a white 2018 International semi-truck changed lanes in an unsafe manner while traveling on Interstate 35.

As a result, the vehicle collided with a black 2020 Kia.

The driver of the Kia, a 20-year-old man, sustained injuries in the wreck. The victim was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.

At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the man who was injured in this accident. We hope for his full recovery.

Truck Accidents in Texas

Each year, more than 14,656 people are seriously injured in motor vehicle accidents across the state of Texas. Nearly 16% of victims are harmed in accidents involving semi-trucks and other large commercial vehicles. The size of these massive vehicles dramatically increases the risk that people will suffer life-altering injuries. This is especially true in cases where victims are traveling in smaller vehicles.

When victims are hurt in truck accidents, they often require extensive medical care. Many victims are rushed from the scene to local hospitals where they immediately go through surgery and have to remain hospitalized for several days. Victims of truck accidents often require therapy and months of rehabilitation. Regrettably, these victims are often left permanently disabled as a result of their injuries.

If you have been hurt in a truck accident, as a result of another motorist’s actions, you must act quickly to protect your legal rights. Seeking the guidance of a competent truck accident lawyer in San Antonio can help you get the justice you truly deserve.
