DALLAS, TX – In the wake of a serious crash involving an 18-wheeler, a Dallas trucking company is striving to clear its name as police continue their investigation. The incident, which left a local driver with significant injuries, has prompted authorities to ask for public assistance in identifying the truck involved.
Carlos Campos, 26, was driving home early Tuesday when his SUV collided with the 18-wheeler on South Cockrell Hill Road. Campos, who lost part of his left arm in the crash, alleges that the truck swerved into his lane and the driver failed to stop.
The owner of the trucking company, who has requested anonymity due to safety concerns, reached out to the media to provide his perspective. He shared surveillance videos from a nearby business, which he believes offer a clearer picture of the events.
The footage reportedly shows the 18-wheeler driving steadily in the middle lane, while Campos’ vehicle approaches quickly from behind, leading to the collision. The truck owner claims his driver was unaware of the impact due to the heavy load being carried.
Despite the videos, Campos maintains that the truck was at fault, standing by his account. The truck owner has been cooperating with police, allowing them to inspect the vehicle. Paint from Campos’ SUV was reportedly found on the back of the trailer.
The case has drawn widespread attention, with both parties holding firm to their narratives. Dallas police have confirmed they are reviewing the surveillance footage as part of their ongoing investigation, and they continue to seek input from the public.
Amid rising tensions, the truck owner hopes the evidence will exonerate his company and alleviate the threats he has received since the incident.
