Overview

• Alexis Osmani Gonzalez-Companioni was arrested Monday on five counts of manslaughter and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
• Authorities say he fell asleep at the wheel around 2:40 p.m. on June 28 and plowed into a backed-up Ford F-150 on Interstate 20 near Terrell.
• The semi then struck two additional 18-wheelers, causing one to jackknife into passenger vehicles and resulting in five deaths and several injuries.
• Elmo and Terrell volunteer firefighters closed all lanes of I-20 for hours to rescue victims and clear wreckage before reopening the highway.
• Texas Department of Public Safety continues probing the crash and examining broader truck driver fatigue and highway safety protocols.
