Seven People Injured after Rollover Wreck in Lubbock

Lubbock, TX (5/5/2021) – A mother and five children were sent to the hospital following a rollover wreck in North Lubbock.

The crash occurred just before 8 a.m. on North University Avenue, just south of FM 1729. A pickup truck hauling a trailer was pulled over on the side of the road and attempted to return to the roadway as a vehicle came along. The vehicle, carrying five children and driven by their mother, overcorrected to avoid the pickup, causing the vehicle to roll over. 

The pickup was not struck.

The entire family was sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A 14-year-old was also sent to the hospital after attempting to help the family. They were struck by a car while crossing the street. They now suffer with a fractured leg.
