A 39-year-old Weatherford man was killed late Friday when his pickup truck plowed into an 18-wheeler on the city's west side, sheering off the top of the pickup, according to Fort Worth police. Russell Blanchard was driving east on Camp Bowie West at about 11:20 p.m. when the 18-wheeler, which had stopped at the intersection of Camp Bowie and Longvue Avenue, pulled into the intersection, said Lt. Dean Sullivan, a police spokesman. Blanchard's 2001 Toyota pickup went underneath the tractor-trailer, and the top of the pickup was sheered off, Sullivan said. Blanchard died at the scene, Sullivan said. The Tarrant County medical examiner's Web site said he died of head injuries.
Edit. Reminds me of a truck wreck case we tried a couple of years ago, in which a young man struck the rear of a stalled 18 wheeler on the freeway. Scary stuff.
