Texas driver captures dramatic overpass collapse on video after a tractor-trailer crash in Tulia, raising concerns about infrastructure safety.
In a heart-stopping moment on Interstate 27 in Tulia, Texas, driver Leonel Vasquez captured a dramatic partial overpass collapse on video while driving beneath it. The incident unfolded when a tractor-trailer hauling a crane slammed into the overpass, sending debris tumbling and hearts racing. Vasquez, heading home from work in Amarillo with his brother, recorded the chaos, which left the truck driver with minor injuries but miraculously spared others on the road.
The overpass, now closed for safety, stands as a stark reminder of how quickly routine drives can turn perilous. Sgt. Adrian Briseno of the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed the crane’s impact as the cause, highlighting the fragility of infrastructure under unexpected strain. Tulia, a small town 50 miles south of Amarillo, is buzzing with talk of the near-disaster.
This isn’t just a story of falling concrete—it’s a wake-up call about the state of our roads and the split-second moments that test our resilience. Authorities are investigating, and drivers are left wondering: how many more overpasses are one bad day away from collapse?
