Police said the 43-year-old driver of an 18-wheeler managed to escape seconds before the cab of the truck ignited into flames Monday afternoon on Interstate 37 near the McKinzie Lane exit.

About 1:45 p.m. Angel Porras, a Mexican national and an employee of a Mississippi-based trucking company, was traveling northbound on I-37 towards the Calallen area when another vehicle pulled in front of the truck, police said.

To avoid hitting the vehicle, Porras slammed on the truck’s brakes, which caused the truck to careen across three lanes of traffic before hitting a concrete barrier.

Posting these accidents will hopefully make someone realize just how dangerous it is out there and might save a life or lives.

You are right, information is important. Thanks for the vote of confidance!:bgroovy: DS.
 
As professional drivers the most important thing is focus.

Over my many years of driving for a living,when it comes to driver error,in any accident its always a fact.
That some one wasn't focused on what they where doing.
