What Happened

Area authorities are investigating a crash that injured a man at I-20 in Mitchell County, TX on February 1st, 2023. Police are saying the crash happened around 7:51 p.m. According to investigators, a tractor-trailer operated by a 48-year-old Casa Grande, AZ man was going eastbound on I-20, approaching a curve in the road. Police say the roads were covered in ice at the time and allege the truck was traveling at a speed unsafe for the road conditions. As a result, investigators believe the truck lost control and veered from the road, sliding into a median before overturning. A 34-year-old passenger, who is believed to have been asleep in the berth of the truck, was seriously injured. That individual was hospitalized. The driver was evaluated for possible injuries. Additional information was not available.
