Friday marks one year since the deadly, chain reaction pileup crash on Interstate 35W in Fort Worth that killed six people and injured dozens more.
“Driving along I felt like I was being more cautious, driving like a granny,” McCoy said with a laugh. “The roads were fine, so you start to accelerate to a normal speed limit. And then I came over the hill and I remember just the sensation that ‘Okay, I don’t have control anymore.’”
McCoy’s SUV surprisingly only sustained minor damage from hitting the barrier wall that separates the managed toll lane from the regular southbound lanes of the interstate, but she came to a stop facing the wrong direction on the highway and was forced to watch vehicle after vehicle proceed to slam directly into one another.
“You start seeing the first car hit, and then the next one, and the tempo kept speeding up back-to-back,” McCoy recalled. “When it was all said and done, I was really surprised to learn that there were only six fatalities because you really feel like you are just witnessing one death after another. It was just awful.”into what efforts were taken to treat the icy road conditions prior to the pileup.
