A motor vehicle accident on SH 24 near Campbell on the morning of Dec. 2 resulted in a Greenville man being airlifted to Parkland Hospital in Dallas with serious injuries.
At approximately 7:35 a.m., a Ford F-15o pickup truck driven by Juan Lara, 29, of Greenville, crashed into a large tractor-trailer on SH 24, just north of Interstate 30 and south of Campbell, a Department of Public Safety official said.
Lara's pickup was traveling north when it struck the 18-wheeler, which was blocking the northbound lanes while attempting to turn south onto SH 24, police said. The tractor-trailer was driven by James Wallace, 47, of Lindsay, Okla., officials said. The vehicle was leaving the parking lot of the Valero Campbell Store and Cafe, they said.
Lara had to be extracted from his pickup and was life-flighted to Dallas, police said. Lara suffered two broken femurs, a broken arm and other injuries that are undetermined, they said.
Wallace, an employee of J. B. Hunt Transportation Services, Inc., of Lowell, Ark., was uninjured, police said.
