Police were investigating a two-car crash when a semitruck spun out of control and rolled onto its side as terrified emergency service staff desperately scrambled to get out of the way, according to Texas news channel KCBD.
Several more vehicles also crashed into the truck amid dense fog around the crash scene on Highway 84 in Lubbock County, Texas, the news channel reported.
“We could hear more tyres screeching, and then just barely see headlights coming in through the fog,” Caleb Holder, a KCBD photographer filming the scene, said.
“I've never seen anything like that in person.”
The truck reportedly hit a Texas state trooper and trapped a driver inside a pickup vehicle after the truck came to a stop on top of it.
KCBD has reported both victims of the crash were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and are expected to survive the accident.
