Two motorists were injured Sunday afternoon when their vehicle became wedged between an 18-wheeler and a concrete barrier along I-35, just outside of Temple, Texas.
18-Wheeler Attempted Lane Change Just Before Crash
The June 3rd accident occurred shortly before 3:00 p.m. at mile marker 304, in a construction zone on the southbound side of the interstate.
The driver of the 18-wheeler was attempting to change lanes at the time, pushing a silver sedan up against the concrete barrier.
The collision brought southbound traffic on I-35 to a halt until about 4:30 p.m., when the accident was finally cleared.
Trapped Motorists Extracted Through Vehicle Roof
Responders from Temple Fire & Rescue used extraction equipment to cut through the roof of the sedan and remove its trapped occupants.
Temple EMS transferred both to Scott & White Medical Center-Temple. Officials have not provided updates on their condition, but their injuries were not thought to be serious.
The driver of the 18-Wheeler was not hurt.
Temple police continue to investigate the crash.
