The driver of a tractor-trailer truck was traveling westbound on the North Loop and, as he traveled downhill, saw the victim run in front of his vehicle. The driver was unable to stop in time and struck the victim. A yellow box truck following the 18-wheeler saw the crash and stopped his vehicle and was struck in the rear by another tractor-trailer truck.
