Icy Bridge May Be Cause of Deadly Mansfield Wreck on Highway 287
Ice on a bridge may have been the cause of a tragic accident this morning as two people died when a truck and a sport utility vehicle collided on Highway 287 at Lonestar in Mansfield, Texas. Both of the fatalities were passengers of the SUV. There were three other passengers of the SUV who were transported to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. The accident is still under investigation.
As we all know, icy roads and especially bridges are very dangerous and hard to navigate. It is sometimes even tougher when there is not ice or snow all around, as the ice on the bridge is not expected. I did not encounter any ice today and it was not even on my mind to be careful. After getting to work, I noticed where the news were reporting about all of the iced over bridges. This tragic accident is just one more reminder.
