(June 13, 2008)—A collision between a jeep and a bobtail truck early Friday afternoon in Killeen left four people injured and one man dead.

All five of the injured were riding in the jeep, which flipped after it was cut off by another vehicle and then was struck by the bobtail truck on eastbound U.S. 190 near the Killeen Hobby Lobby store.

Four of the jeep’s occupants were ejected.

One man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The injured victims were taken to hospitals in Temple and on Fort Hood.

Traffic backed up Friday afternoon, as police closed the eastbound lanes of the highway because of the accident.

No your right it does not have to happen but someone HAS to blame for it otherwise it would not be an accedent? Someone being STUPID caused this other person to get hurt or dead and if they were not being STUPID then there would be no reason to point fingers could no one would be hurt?

I just can't understand why people feel it necessary to BLAME other people for an accident, because it is just THAT! An accident. Everything happens for a reason and people just need to learn to accept that. Death, no matter how tragic, is a part of life. And it definitely is saddening. And there is NO sense in blaming others and pointing fingers. It doesn't make it ANY easier on ANYONE!! My condolences go out to ALL the families of the victims, and I hope that the driver of the black car involved finds the strength to admit to this crime.
