On Friday, April 11, 2008, at approximately 2:30 p.m., a driver was traveling south on State Highway 183 near Interstate 35E in Texas with a full load of cement in his truck, estimated to be more than 98,000 pounds. He was en route to a cement pour when, according to him, he swerved to avoid a car that had cut in front of him. This simple act set off a chain reaction that cost one life, sent three people to the hospital, and required the response of urban search and rescue (USAR) specialized equipment and personnel.
