A motorist died tragically yesterday morning, after an 18-wheeler triggered a multi-vehicle crash along Loop 20 in Laredo, Texas.
18-Wheeler Veered into Oncoming Traffic
The September 11th accident occurred around 8:00 a.m., as the rig was heading south in the 5000 block of Bob Bullock Loop. For reasons that remain unclear, the 18-wheeler veered into the northbound lanes of the highway and collided head-on with oncoming traffic.

According to the Laredo Police, the 60-year old man driving the Dodge Challenger died at the accident scene.
