  • KCBD photographer Caleb Holder was filming a two-car crash on Highway 84 in Lubbock County, Texas, when an 18-wheel truck lost control and slammed into the scene.

  • Holder's video shows a number of people at the scene diving out of the way as the semi truck appears traveling at high speed out of heavy fog.

  • The truck hits two vehicles before jackknifing and landing on a pickup before sliding and finally coming to a halt.

  • A Texas state trooper in a fluorescent jacket can be seen tripping as he moves to evade the truck — he and another driver pinned inside the pickup were taken to hospital for treatment and are expected to survive, KCBD said.

  • "We could hear more tires screeching, and then just barely see headlights coming in through the fog," Holder reported on KCBD, adding: "I've never seen anything like that in person."
