December 22, 2015 Jacksboro, tx
The typical hussle of Christmas week came to a sudden halt earlier today as a major accident occurred just north of town. According to Texas State Trooper John Thomas, a small car was traveling north on the Wichita Highway when it suddenly veered across and into the southbound lane, colliding with a tractor trailer that was traveling south. The small car went under the trailer, destroying the front half of the car. The truck came to a stop a short distance from the car.
Injuries to the driver of the car were unknown at this time, but the driver was air lifted to an area hospital.
