VON ORMY, Texas — One man has died after a crash involving two 18-wheeler trailer trucks.

According to police, around 12:33 a.m. Jan. 20, Martin Huerta, 42, was driving a fully loaded 18-wheeler northbound at the 12300 block of Somerset Road. Another 18-wheeler headed southbound was making a left turn into a private driveway and swung wide into the northbound lanes to make the turn.

Huerta was unable to stop in time and struck the southbound trailer truck. The crash trapped Huerta inside his trailer and he had to be extricated by SAFD. The driver of the southbound trailer was not injured. 

Huerta was transported to University Hospital by EMS, but died shortly after arrival.  

Police said the wet roads and possibly speed contributed to the accident.
