Gregg County, FL (August 4, 2018) – Two men were involved in a severe semi-truck accident near Kilgore on I-20. One man died and the other was left in serious condition.
58-year-old Raul Sanchez-Ramos died after sustaining injuries in a semi-truck crash on Wednesday morning just outside the town of Kilgore. Sanchez-Ramos has been heading east in a truck with a semi-trailer attached to the back when he suddenly made an abrupt lane change to the left, causing his vehicle to slide from the roadway.
The semi went down a steep embankment and crashed into a large group of trees, ejecting the passenger, 50-year-old Enrique Dominguez, from the sleeper compartment.
Sanchez-Ramos was taken to the hospital in serious condition while Dominguez was pronounced dead at the scene. At this time, authorities are investigating the crash.
