One Dead Following Early Morning Interstate Collison

SALADO (May 3, 2010)One man is dead following an entrapment in an early morning collision involving a rental truck and an 18-wheeler trailer in southern Bell County.

The accident was reported just after 4 a.m. Monday along Interstate 35 at mile marker 284. Traffic on the south-bound lanes of the highway was shut down while rescuers landed a helicopter to transport the rental truck driver to the hospital.

A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper at the scene told News 10 the utility van ran under the rear of the semi-trailer and the resulting collision pinned the driver in his truck cab.

The driver of the rental truck was cut from the wreckage and flown by helicopter ambulance to Scott and White Hospital, in Temple, where he later died.

The highway was opened to limited traffic at about 6:45 a.m. while crews removed debris left on the roadway.
