Man Arrested for Allegedly Falling Asleep, Causing Fatal Crash that Killed 5, Texas DPS Says
- On Saturday afternoon, Interstate 20 east of Terrell was the site of a major collision involving seven vehicles, including three tractor-trailers and four passenger cars.
- The crash occurred when the operator of a truck-tractor became fatigued and collided with a Ford F-150 carrying five passengers, subsequently forcing the vehicle into two additional 18-wheelers.
- The collision caused one 18-wheeler to jackknife and strike a Jeep Compass, a Ford Mustang, and a Honda, leading to a large emergency response by several agencies including the Terrell and Elmo fire departments.
- Five people died—four in the Ford F-150 and one in the Jeep Compass—while two others were critically injured and several sustained less severe injuries, with some transported to Dallas-area hospitals.
- Interstate 20 near Terrell remained shut down in both directions for multiple hours, with at least one eastbound lane reopening by 6 p.m., while Texas DPS continues to investigate the incident.
