Two People Injured in Terrell Crash on Interstate 20

Terrell, Texas (May 26, 2018) – Two people were injured in a multi-vehicle collision in Terrell Thursday afternoon.
The collision was reported at around 12:30 p.m. Thursday, May 24 on eastbound Interstate 20 near mile marker 495, just west of Farm-to-Market (FM) 148 and the Terrell city limits.
According to Texas Department of Public Safety officials, a Chevy 3500 pickup truck was hauling a trailer when it rear-ended a truck-tractor, causing it to strike two other vehicles.
One of the occupants in the pickup truck was pinned in the vehicle, extricated, and airlifted to a Dallas-area hospital. A second occupant was taken by ground ambulance to Baylor, Scott & White Hospital in Sunnyvale, Texas, with minor injuries.
Eastbound Interstate 20 was blocked at FM 1641 where motorists were diverted to an alternative route.
According to police, the highway was expected to reopen in about an hour.
An investigation into the crash is underway.
