CORPUS CHRISTI (Kiii News) - Traffic investigators are
trying to determine what caused an 18-wheeler carrying scrap metal to flip on
its side Monday afternoon beneath the overpass at Agnes and NPID.
The accident happened around 3 p.m., and despite how bad
the accident looked, police said the driver of the big rig escaped without
injury.
"Judging by some of the tire marks, speed might
have been a factor and it overturned," said Lt. Villarreal of the Corpus
Christi Police Department. "The 18-wheeler just had scrap. Didn't have any
chemicals, wasn't transporting any HazMat."
Investigators are trying to determine if the driver of
the 18-wheeler will face any charges.
