A woman is lucky to be alive after she struck the back of an 18 wheeler Thursday night.
The accident occurred around 7:45pm in front of the Pilot Truck Stop, just south of the I-10 and Hwy. 62 intersection.
A woman was driving a pickup truck southbound. The big rig was pulling out of the truck stop and she hit the back of the rig hard enough that it damaged the trailer to the point that it couldn’t be towed and traffic had to be shut down while it was removed.
She was conscious and alert at the scene but had to be extricated by the jaws of life. Her injuries were said to be non-life threatening.
