Two people were injured in an accident with a tractor-trailer due to an unsafe lane change according to reports.

State troopers indicated a 2009 Peterbilt semi truck made an unsafe lane change striking a pickup on the drivers side and causing the driver to lose control, hit a median and flip over. The accident snarled traffic for an hour and a half while the wreck was cleared.

The two occupants of the pickup were taken to the hospital and it is unknown at this time the status of their injures.

It is extremely common in 18 wheeler accidents in Houston, that do to the size of the rig, the truck driver does not see another vehicle when changing lanes.
