The driver of an 18-wheeler was in serious condition after rolling his truck when he was cut off on Texas 121 by a pickup Tuesday morning, police said.

The accident happened shortly after 10:30 a.m. in the 2400 block of the freeway near Cheek-Sparger Road, Euless police Sgt. Scott Peterson said.

Police want to find the driver of the blue Ford F-250 pickup truck that witnesses told them had cut the semi off, causing it to roll. The driver left the scene.

Witnesses told police that the pickup was driving recklessly before the accident, Peterson said.

“We’re trying to get more information on who that might be,” Peterson said of the driver.

Anyone with information about the pickup driver is asked to call 817-685-1544.

The unidentified semi driver was taken to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Grapevine, Peterson said. His injuries aren’t considered life-threatening.
