HOUSTON — A crash on a Texas highway left a dramatic scene behind when a semi-truck was left dangling from an overpass.
The crash was reported just before 9 a.m. Monday, when officials say a box truck left a Houston road and the 18-wheeler almost followed, KHOU reported.
The box truck landed on the road beneath the overpass, while the cab of the 18-wheeler was hanging precariously over the side, KTRK reported.

Both drivers survived. The driver of the box truck was taken to a hospital in critical condition, while the 18-wheeler’s driver suffered minor injuries, KHOU reported.
“We were real lucky,” Montgomery County Commissioner James Noack told KTRK. “You know you got three schools right behind you, and we got debris on the ground, the driver on the ground.”
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
