18-Wheeler Hydroplaned, Collided With 2nd Rig
The first crash occurred shortly before 7:00 a.m.
According to local media, an 18-wheeler driven by a 29-year-old man from Biven, Texas was traveling in the northbound lanes of South Loop 224 (Southwest Stallings Drive) when it began to hydroplane on the wet road.
The rig careened out of control and crossed the unprotected median. At that point, the semi-truck collided with a southbound 18-wheeler.
Paramedics transferred both truck drivers to a local hospital, where they are currently listed in stable condition. Authorities have not disclosed the nature of their injuries.

Paramedics transferred one child and the driver to a local hospital for evaluation. The second student was not hurt and was transported to summer school classes shortly after the crash.
