Five people, including two young children, escaped injury after a single-vehicle rollover crash Wednesday afternoon in northwest Fort Worth.
Their pickup truck was traveling around a blind curve on Cahoba Drive in Marion Sansom Park near Lake Worth when the occupants said an oncoming 18-wheeler was driving on their side of the street, leaving them no choice but to go off the road.
"Where he [the truck driver] would have banked the corner, we had to go straight from hitting him head-on," said Cory Cunningham, who was a passenger in the pickup.
The pickup became wedged between two cement walls in a ditch on the side of the road.
"I could have lost my family," said Cunningham.
Remarkably, the five people in the pickup, including three adults, a 4-year-old girl and an 8-month-old infant, were not injured. The driver of the pickup truck is also pregnant.
Cunningham said the driver of the semi stopped to help and called 911 but then left.
