(January 24, 2008)–An auto crash along west State Highway 6 a mile south of Speegleville Rd slowed traffic to a crawl just as area residents were headed to work Thursday Morning.

Two cars were involved and at least two persons were injured.

One vehicle was overturned and one of the occupants in that vehicle was an infant.

Waco police and fire units were on the scene to aid with moving the injured.

Police on the scene say the infant did not appear to be injured.

The drivers of both vehicles were loaded into East Texas Medical Center ambulances and taken to an area hospital.

Southbound traffic was backed up for more than a mile and at times halted so that emergency crews could clear the wreckage. North bound traffic remained unaffected.

Traffic was flowing normally again by 9 a.m.

Im just a little upset that 911 did not answer or give a call back, if they had they may have been able to get a highway patrolman to spot the Semi!! This family suffered the loss last 3-11-07 of Cheri & Tracy"s baby girl who would have been Melayna's cousin and the same age within days of Melayan THE fear of losing another baby, sister,and daughter was almost more than this family could bear yesterday!!! PLEASE IF there is any information that anyone can remember about that Semi no matter how small that might help find the driver contact family or police!!!!! THIS PERSON must not be aloud to drive on our highways with so little regurd to human life, PLEASE ANY small bit of information may help befor a family pays with the life of a loved one.!!
