Dallas truck wreck kills one injures another
An 18-wheeler fought a Ford Mustang and the Mustang lost. About 7:30 this morning a big truck crashed with a passenger car on Westmoreland Road exit in Dallas.
The driver of the car died at the scene and his passenger was taken by ambulance to Methodist medical center for care. The passenger's medical condition was unknown at this time.
Investigators will conduct a reconstruction of the fatal truck accident in an effort to determine the cause of the truck accident.
Typically, in fatal accidents with tractor-trailers the DPS will assign a reconstruction expert to document the scene and reenact or reconstruct what happened using computer models, which have been found accurate in accident reconstruction.
Two popular computer programs used by expert witnesses who testify concerning the cause of the wreck and the actions of the participants are EDSMAC and EDCRASH both such programs have been used for many years by engineers hired by truck accident attorneys to simulate a truck accidents.
It is noteworthy to mention that many larger insurance companies for trucking companies have quick response teams on retainer who generally are on the scene within hours of the truck wreck.
