4 Hospitalized in Multi-Vehicle Crash on Highway 69 [Tyler, TX]

Tyler, TX (September 13, 2024) – Four people have been transported following a multi-vehicle crash on Highway 69 Thursday morning.

It was around 6 a.m. when the traffic collision involving an overturned tanker happened between South Street and Eagle Spirit Drive.

The authorities extricated two people from a vehicle using Jaw of life and rushed four people including the tanker driver to nearby hospitals. The authorities did not provide further information on the patients’ condition, but expect them to recover.

Investigators said the tanker carrying around 8,000 gallons worth of diesel fuel. The tanker spilled approximately 5,000 gallons in the collision.

Meanwhile troopers closed the crash scene to clear debris and the spilled diesel.

Officers are investigating the Highway 69 traffic accident.

Approximately one third of all motor vehicle fatalities have been caused by speeding over the past two decades. As a matter of fact, speeding contributed to 29% of all traffic deaths in 2022.

Even when you are driving at the speed limit, driving too fast for road conditions, such as during bad weather, in areas that are not well lit at night, or on a road under repair, can affect your safety.

Speeding endangers not only the driver, but all the people on the road around them. It is a problem we all need to solve.
