A FedEx truck collided with two tow trucks positioned on the right shoulder of eastbound Interstate 20 near Cedar Ridge Drive in Duncanville, Texas on February 7, 2024, killing one tow truck driver at the scene and leaving a second pinned under the wreckage before being airlifted by Careflight, according to FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth. The Dallas County Sheriff's Office reported no drugs or alcohol were involved and no charges were pending.
Operator takeaway
Two operators on the same shoulder, both struck — if your crew runs multi-truck recoveries on interstate shoulders, stagger your positioning and never place two operators on the traffic side simultaneously.
