(insert incoherent Fred Flintstone curse here)

I was, for a brief time, a truck driver. Whenever there's a local area truck "accident" I always wonder how it happened. Yesterday there were all kinds of reports on the radio about a truck accident that occured at IH35 and SH46 in New Braunfels which closed down the northbound side of the interstate for several hours.

Turns out the trucker was not the cause of the accident:

A woman in a stolen San Antonio code compliance department vehicle on Thursday led police on a chase on Interstate 35 to New Braunfels, where she caused a major traffic accident before being stopped...

..New Braunfels Police Sgt. Chris Snyder said the woman caused a wreck at about 1 p.m. on Interstate 35 near Texas 46, involving an 18-wheeler and a passenger vehicle. Two people in the car received minor injuries and were treated and released at the scene.

The wreck resulted in a four-mile backup on Interstate 35 in New Braunfels.
