An 18 wheeler truck accident in Grand Prairie, involving two different trucks left a Chevy Aveo completely smashed and sent three of the vehicle's occupants to the hospital with resulting injuries.

The Texas 18 wheeler truck accident took place at approximately 6 a.m. on I-20 near the intersection of Highway 161, officials said.

The Chevy was, reportedly, occupied by an adult and two teenagers. All three people had to be cut from the vehicle as a result of the Texas 18 wheeler accident.

According to police, the driver of the Chevy struggled to stop in time, when a dump truck traveling ahead of them stopped abruptly. The impact of the collision sent the small sedan spinning through traffic, where another 18 wheeler truck smashed into the Chevy.

The adult and one teen were transported to the hospital via ground ambulance while the remaining teenage girl was flown to the hospital via helicopter.

A Dallas house fire left a man dead after firefighters left the scene when smoke was reported by neighbors, officials said.

According to reports, neighbors begged firefighters not to leave the scene of the Texas apartment fire when officials arrived initially. Fire crew members said they knocked on various doors of the apartments when smoke was reported, but left soon after when they found no fire.

Apartment resident 58-year-old Byron Forester was pronounced dead at the scene of the house fire in Dallas.

Authorities are still looking into what may have sparked the blaze that left Forester dead.

House fires are more common during cooler winter months because of the increased use of heater and other appliances that can sometimes spark a fire. Defective products and appliances can create unsafe conditions, creating sparks when we may least expect them and giving us little time to react.

Additionally, drier Texas conditions can make it easy for fires to spread if defective appliances or faulty heaters ignite flames.
