MARSHALL — One person has been killed after two tractor trailers collided on Interstate 20 in Harrison County. Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Sylvia Jennings said troopers were dispatched at about 6:00 yesterday morning to the crash near Farm Road 31 west of Marshall. Dead at the scene was Andrew Mayfield, 35, of Beckville No word this morning on the person injured in the accident.
Officials say the wreck happened when one 18-wheeler hit the back end of another, and in the process, damaged a bridge support column. According to KETK, eastbound lanes on I-20 were closed and will remain so until the bridge can be repaired. TxDOT expects the project to take several weeks.
