Joe tipped baldeagle 500 credits for a post in this forum discussion.

It's such a straight stretch on 59, I wonder why they didn't see the accident with enough time to stop?

Still there. I saw a chunk of the bridge taken out. Pretty nasty

Edited to remove story and links that were for a eerily similar wreck involving similar vehicles in the same general area that happened back on November 2nd.

Texasdad :
Truck driver was intoxicated

Ugh. "Investigators were looking into if the driver of the 18-wheeler was intoxicated."

🚨 Four Houston Firefighters were hurt after a semi truck slammed into their fire truck early Sunday morning. This happened in Kingwood around 1:40 am along the Eastex Freeway and North Park Drive. The fire engine was blocking traffic for an accident scene. We're told the four firefighters were seriously hurt, but expected to recover. The driver of the 18 wheeler was also injured.📸 Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association + Houston Fire Department

Raining and visibility reduced and darkness. And people still drive way too fast.
