Hopkins County, TX – March 9, 2022, 29-year-old Fadi Kathawa was killed in a collision between two 18-wheelers on Interstate 30 in Hopkins County.
Authorities say the incident happened around 11:00 p.m. on I-30 roughly 7 miles east of Sulphur Springs. Preliminary investigation suggests Kathawa was driving a Freightliner big rig east on the highway when he lost control for unknown reasons. The truck veered out of the travel lane and hit a guardrail, then rolled over across the eastbound lanes. Shortly afterward it was hit by an International tractor-trailer driven by 33-year-old Lester Brown.
Kathawa was ejected from his truck during the crash and suffered fatal injuries. Brown was treated and released at the scene.
