The Sequence of Events in the Fatal 3-Truck Wreck at the Intersection
After he ran the red light, Charles Dailey first struck a green truck in the intersection. That collision caused the green truck to hit another truck waiting at a traffic light. Mark Arnold, driver of the green truck, suffered fatal injuries from the sudden, high-speed collision. The sympathies of our Houston accident lawyers go out to the family and friends of Mr. Arnold.
A witness to the fatal 3-truck wreck says that when Dailey passed her, he was traveling so fast that it made her vehicle shake. Charles Dailey also suffered injuries in the crash. While at the hospital, he consented to a blood draw. Authorities are waiting for results regarding his blood alcohol content level. Dailey’s bail was set at $30,000. (Source: Jaime E.
