Paramedics rushed three people to the hospital following an accident where an SUV hit a tanker truck on Expressway 83 in Harlingen.

The accident happened off the westbound lanes of U.S. Expressway 83 between Altas Palms and Bass Boulevard around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Police told Action 4 News that an SUV hit a tanker truck.

Investigators said the tanker truck lost its driveshaft just before the accident and that the SUV may have hit it causing the accident.

Police said a woman was driving the SUV and that she had her 2-year-old son as a passenger.

Investigators said a male driver was the only person inside the tanker truck.

It's not clear what the tanker truck was carrying inside but there appeared to be no leaks.

Action 4 News will post more information as it becomes available.
