A garbage truck traveling northbound on the Sam Rayburn Tollway in The Colony hit and killed a stranded motorist that was trying to cross the highway. The motorist was hit around 6 a.m. after he attempted to cross Highway 121 between Main and Paige Road.

The truck accident caused a traffic nightmare for those driving the tollway as they had to use the highway’s frontage road during morning rush hour.

Unfortunately, stranded motorists are injured or killed all the time in DFW while changing tires, or like in this case, attempting to cross the road. Remember – there is an emergency number on the back of your Texas driver’s license you can call for roadside assistance. If you are stalled on an especially busy road or highway, call the police station and request that a squad car with warning lights wait nearby. These accidents are far too common, but can be avoided – especially if you use the resources available to you.
