Crews are working on cleaning up a crash after an 18-wheeler flew off a U.S. 75 overpass in Allen, Texas, on Tuesday afternoon. Police say the driver of the semi-truck died in the crash. The crash happened near the intersection of 75 and Stacy Road. Dash camera video from a witness shows the semi-truck going off the overpass, overturning onto the road and then bursting into flames.

RIP GUSTAVO GOMEZ 🙏 Condolences to your family and friends at this difficult time. ✝️😥
Thanks for the dash cam view.
Monster trucks should be kept off roadways.
Happens all the time
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Rest In Peace
im not an accident specialist but i willing to bet somebody was in their phone either the truck driver or the other driver texas is bad with that phone and driving there should be a law.. everyone can't walk and chew gum ijs rip driver
I'm guessing maybe it jackknifed and skidded over the railing, but the fire started so fast that I wonder if a rear tractor passenger side tire fire triggered this chain of events. Rough…stay safe!
It's funny how you guys say "thoughts and prayers for the family" but most won't actually pray and will most likely forget about this next month.
But despite all that I do feel bad for the family of this former truck driver and for the man himself, no one should ever die on the job.
😔
Texas roads, Lord have mercy on us.
Oh no. Prayers for this family
Jesus Jesus Jesus my heart hurts watching this. Praying for all involved
The Wife seems very tough, she should be looking for an Attorney RIGHT NOW before they take the easy way out and BLAME THE TRUCK DRIVER .
ALLEN POLICE DEPARTMENT??
Shouldn’t this be turned over to the STATE POLICE BEING TRUCKS ARE UNDER THE STATES JURISDICTION?
Happened in my hometown… so sad
So sad for the driver but it is a miracle no one at the bottom of the bridge was hit by the falling semi. It looks like a busy time of day there.
I've watched this video about 10 times and you can see the truck driver being tossed out the window. It's sad to watch. Praying for the families.
Glad nobody was coming out from under that overpass to where the semi would have landed on them, crushing them.
DID. HE. SURVIVE😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
I saw it as it happened! Allen, TX specifically
I would presume the driver was being overworked, crashes like that don't just happen for no reason.
Prayers for the trucker's family. People need to respect the truckers because if it weren't for them you'd be faced with greater shortages. Bless the truckers for what they do!!
RIP to a man doing a thankless job
Smith system
I hope the driver is okay and has a speedy recovery.
So funny
