Gustavo Gomez, 71, was identified as the truck driver who died after his 18-wheeler went off U.S. 75 in Allen and burst into flames. His wife says he's lived in Dallas since the early 80s and was a father of five. 🙏
It's luck no one was passing thru at street level at that exact moment the truck hit the roadway or the truck would've landed on them. Same thing happened in Tampa, a woman driving a large SUV tried to merge onto I-75 instead of waiting for traffic to clear. She hit a large truck causing pandemonium with cars crashing into one another. End result, flaming debris from the truck fell onto the street below landing on a car. The driver was burned alive, they had to ID him thru dental charts. All because one woman was impatient and couldn't wait for heavy traffic to pass. RIP to Gustavo Gomez killed in the Texas accident.
I’m always scared to drive by them, the drivers are usually on the phone and they change lines very fast and they go over the speed limit 😢, so sad he lost his life.
There needs to be an update to the current infrastructure in which the roads are only used for semitrucks. It’s too dangerous when a regular car carelessly swerves in front of a semi truck causing the semi truck driver to avoid impact. (And of course vice versa)
Tractor trailer drivers should be protected under the law by any negligent driver who cuts them off. Most of the time, they blame the big rig driver when they are not at fault.
Lawyers talking to driver in car looking for a huge settlement from trucking Co. Cuz that’s what they do best. Nobody in a car respects a semi. Get cut off, break checking, squeezing into little space between truck and car in front. It’s a constant grind dealing with cars!
It’s really weird how no one has a video of the initial wreck on 75. Only a video from below 75. Hmmm A video of the wreck on 75 would show why he had to veer to the right causing him to go over the side to die.
Deep CONDOLENCES 🙏🏽
RIP Driver
RIP I am so sorry 🥺😳😞😥
Was texting involved? How did this happen so we can avoid it in the future?
WOW! Prayers sent up!!

This is a dangerous part of the road in Allen, Texas. I saw this accident.
I'm pretty sure the car went to cut in front of him and he turned so he didn't hit the car and hit the right side of that bridge and went over it.

If the car did cut him off I don't know how he can live with him self if he doesn't say anything. That is very cowardly if he did
Thank you for your service 🙏 driver may you rest in peace.We got it from here.we'll all meet back up on the highway to heaven.

At least 87% of all wrecks involving a truck is caused by a car.
No wonder my bag of jellybeans arrived late!

This is sad.😢 Get off your Phones. Don't be selfish on the roads. Please think of others around you. Condolences to the Family. 🙏🏽🙏
