The drivers of a National Guard Humvee, a tractor-trailer, and a passenger car are all dead after a bizarre six vehicle crash on Interstate 35 in Troy, Texas.
The accident happened when a National Guard Humvee went airborne and crossed the concrete barrier between the north and south lanes of I-35. While airborne the Humvee sheared the top off of a passenger car and then crashed into the cab of an 18-wheeler.
The tractor-trailer then collided with a truck towing an SUV on a flatbed trailer, and a dump truck hit the trailer of the 18-wheeler. No other vehicle occupants were injured in the crash.
The Humvee driver, Altha Gibson, 21, of Desoto died at the scene and is believed to have been a member of the National Guard. The driver of the car she hit, Douglas Ashcroft, 41, of Austin, also died at the scene as did the driver of the tractor-trailer, Donald Johnson, 44, of Burleson.
It is not yet known what caused the Humvee to become airborne and the cause of the accident is still under investigation by the Troy Police Department with special assistance from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
According to reports it was raining when the collisions occurred. The Temple Fire & Rescue squad was called to the scene because of a fuel leak that occurred as a result of the accident.
