According to authorities, the collision happened around 4:20 p.m. on U.S. Highway 36, about one mile west of Cameron.

Authorities reported that a Ford Taurus traveling westbound attempted to turn south across the highway when a westbound Peterbilt 389 tractor-trailer struck the car on the rear driver’s side.

Keeping the Road Safe is Everyone’s Responsibility

Be a defensive driver to prevent road accidents. Stay alert, maintain a safe distance, and always expect the unexpected. Avoid distractions, obey speed limits, and use your signals. Watch for pedestrians and cyclists. A proactive, cautious approach keeps everyone safer on the road. Drive smart, drive safe!

Collisions involving large trucks can cause serious injuries due to the significant size and weight difference between vehicles. Drivers should use extra caution when turning across traffic and always ensure they have enough time and space to complete a maneuver safely.
