Ector County SH 158 Fatal Head-On Crash: Your Legal Rights After a Center-Line Crossing Collision on a Rural Texas Highway You are reading this because someone you love was on State Highway 158 at six in the morning on a Sunday in June, and now everything is different. Maybe you are the driver who was heading east in the F-250, who walked away from a head-on collision and was told your injuries were “minor” — and you are starting to wonder why your neck will not stop hurting, why you cannot remember the drive home from the hospital, why the insurance adjuster has already called twice. Maybe you are the family of the twenty-year-old woman from Midland who did not come home — and you have read the preliminary report that says her vehicle crossed the center line, and you cannot square that with the person you know, and you need someone to tell you whether that report is the last word or the first. It is the first. Not the last. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle car accident cases across Texas, including the Permian Basin corridors that connect Midland and Odessa to the oilfields…

Midland Shooting on West Loop 250 — Legal Rights and Compensation After a Violent Assault in the Permian Basin You are reading this because someone you care about was shot. Maybe it was on April 25, 2026, near West Loop 250 in Midland, or maybe it was a different day on a different stretch of the same kind of road — and the person who pulled the trigger is either in custody or still out there. Either way, you are sitting with a hospital discharge paper in one hand and a police report number in the other, and nobody has explained what happens next in language that makes sense. We are going to do that now. What the public reporting tells us is this: on April 25, 2026, a member of the Mongols Motorcycle Club was shot near West Loop 250 in Midland. The Texas Anti-Gang Center – Permian Basin, working with Midland police, identified the suspect as Gilbert Roman Corrales, believed to be a member of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club. On May 2, 2026, TAG members and the Odessa Police Department located Corrales in the area of Pearl Street in Odessa — about twenty miles southwest of Midland —…

Alan Kevin Ferreyro, 23, Fatally Struck by an 18-Wheeler on I-20 Near Odessa, Ector County: Attorney911 Brings Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice to Permian Basin Commercial Truck Wrongful-Death Cases, We Pursue the Motor Carriers Behind 80,000-Pound Rigs Hauling on the Oilfield Logistics Corridor Where Nighttime Visibility Is a Documented Hazard, We Extract the ELD and ECM Black-Box Data Before the 30-Day Overwrite Cycle Purges It, FMCSA Regulations Under 49 CFR and the Federal Financial-Responsibility Minimum, Texas Wrongful-Death Act and the 51% Comparative-Fault Bar the Defense Will Weaponize Against a Pedestrian in Dark Clothing, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies These Cases, the Firm Has Recovered $2.5M+ in Truck-Crash Cases and Millions in Wrongful-Death Matters — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Fatal 18-Wheeler Pedestrian Accident on I-20 Near Odessa, Texas: What Families Need to Know If you are reading this because someone you love was killed on Interstate 20 near Odessa — struck by a commercial truck at night — you are in the worst hours of your life, and the machinery that will try to minimize your loss is already moving. We want you to know three things before anything else. First, the fact that an 18-wheeler was involved changes everything about your case, because commercial drivers and their carriers are held to a federal safety standard that ordinary drivers never face. Second, the fact that your loved one was in the roadway wearing dark clothing does not end your case — it is a comparative factor the defense will exploit, and we have answers for it. Third, the evidence that decides whether this was an accident or a violation — the truck’s black box, the driver’s hours-of-service logs, his cell phone records, his post-crash toxicology — is on a clock, and that clock is not kind to families who wait. This page is for anyone whose family has been torn open by a commercial truck on the I-20 corridor…

Fatal Semi-Truck Crash at SH 349 and FM 1213 in Midland County: Attorney911 Pursues the Carrier Behind the 80,000-Pound Rig That Struck and Killed Manuel De Jesus Sanchez Velasco on a Dark Permian Basin Intersection, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, We Extract the EDR Black-Box Data and ELD Hours-of-Service Logs Before the Overwrite, Mandatory Post-Crash Testing Under 49 CFR 382.303, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies Fatal Truck Cases, Texas Modified Comparative Negligence and the 51% Bar — Truck Speed and Stopping Distance Can Establish Carrier Fault Even When a Stop Sign Was Run, the Firm Has Recovered $2.5M+ in Truck-Crash Cases and Millions in Wrongful-Death Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

The Crash on SH 349 That Took a Life — and Why the Full Story Has Not Been Told Yet If you are reading this because someone you love was killed on State Highway 349 on the night of December 1, 2024, we want you to hear something first: the fact that the initial report says a stop sign was run does not mean the investigation is over, and it does not mean no one else bears responsibility for what happened. A commercial semi-truck traveling through a dark rural intersection in the Permian Basin at night carries duties that go far beyond the right of way — and those duties are investigated with evidence most families never learn exists until it is gone. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle commercial truck accident cases across Texas, including the oilfield corridors of the Permian Basin where SH 349 carries truck traffic that dwarfs what those rural roads were built to handle. This page is not a news recap. It is the legal and forensic analysis we would give a family sitting across from us — what happened, what the law allows, what the truck’s black box and…

The Night of November 19 — What Happened at FM 866 and University Boulevard If you are reading this, someone you love did not come home on November 19, 2025. You may have gotten the call from Medical Center Hospital, or from a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper whose voice you will never forget. You may have already read the preliminary DPS report that says the word “failed to yield” — and you may be wondering whether that single phrase means no one is accountable for the person who is gone. We are going to tell you something that matters right now, before anything else: that preliminary finding is a starting point, not a verdict. And the evidence that could tell a different story — the commercial truck’s onboard computer, its driver’s logs, its cameras, its braking data — is on a clock. That clock is running right now, and the records the law forces the trucking company to keep are the same records the law permits it to destroy. A 38-year-old woman was killed at the intersection of FM 866 and West University Boulevard in Ector County. She was wearing her seatbelt. She was taken to Medical Center…

Fiery Head-On Collision Near Midland: What Five Deaths on a Permian Basin Highway Mean for Families Who Lost Everything You are reading this because someone you love was killed on a two-lane highway in West Texas, and the silence from the insurance company is already louder than the crash itself. We know that silence. We know what fills it — the adjuster who has not called back, the tow yard that wants to charge you storage on a vehicle that is evidence, the DPS report that is not ready yet, and the funeral you had to plan before anyone told you what happened on that road. We are writing this page because the decisions made in the first days after a commercial truck kills a family member are the decisions that decide whether the truth survives. On a Sunday afternoon in early February 2011, a Volkswagen Beetle collided head-on with a dump truck approximately five miles north of Midland, Texas. The crash was catastrophic. All four people in the subcompact car — a grandmother and her three grandchildren, ages eight, three, and two — were killed on impact. The dump truck driver, fifty-six years old, survived the initial collision. He…

Ector County Fatal Head-On Crash on SH 158: What Families Need to Know Right Now If you found this page, someone you love was probably on State Highway 158 near West Chinaberry Avenue on the morning of June 7. Maybe you got the call at dawn. Maybe you are sitting in a kitchen in Midland or Odessa right now, staring at a phone that won’t stop ringing with people who say they are sorry and with one person from an insurance company who sounds very friendly and is not. We are going to tell you everything we know about what happens next — the law, the evidence, the clock that is already running on proof that can disappear, and the truth about what a case like this is worth. None of it is guesswork. All of it is what we do. Here is the first thing to understand, and it matters more than anything else on this page: the Texas Department of Public Safety has called its investigation preliminary. That word — preliminary — is not a formality. It means the official findings can change, and in our experience, they often do. A preliminary report is built in the first…

When a Single-Vehicle Crash Takes a Life in Ector County — Your Family’s Rights After the Cottonwood Road Rollover The phone rang before the sun came up. A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper, or a hospital chaplain, or a family member who heard it first — someone told you that a 50-year-old woman from Gardendale left home before dawn on December 26, 2025, drove east on Cottonwood Road toward Yale Avenue in northern Ector County, and did not come back. Her 2017 Chevrolet Camaro crossed to the wrong side of the road, struck a dirt embankment, hit a utility pole, and rolled over. She was thrown from the vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Now you are sitting at a kitchen table — in Gardendale, in Odessa, somewhere in Ector County — and the house is quiet except for the questions that will not stop. The DPS report says the crash is still under investigation. Someone told you she was not wearing a seatbelt. Someone else used the phrase “single-car accident” and seemed to think that ended the conversation. It does not end the conversation. It opens several more. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm,…

The Collision at West 42nd Street and FM 866 — What Happened and What It Means for Your Family If you are reading this because someone you love was killed in the collision at the intersection of West 42nd Street and Farm to Market Road 866 in Ector County on the night of March 25, 2026, we want you to hear something first: the preliminary report from the Texas Department of Public Safety is not the final word on what happened or who is responsible. It is a first draft — written in the hours after a fatal crash, before the truck’s black box is downloaded, before the driver’s logbooks are examined, before the scene is reconstructed by an independent expert, and before any lawyer has asked the trucking company a single question under oath. A preliminary report is the starting point of an investigation, not its conclusion. What matters now — what matters more than anything else — is what happens to the evidence in the next few days and weeks, because the proof of what really happened on that dark rural crossroads is already beginning to disappear. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle…

Highway 115 Near Andrews, Texas: When a Crossover Collision With a Semi-Truck Kills — What the Family Needs to Know Right Now If you found this page, you are probably sitting with a phone in your hand and a fact you cannot make sense of: someone you love was driving north on Highway 115 just outside Andrews, and at 6:31 in the morning their vehicle crossed into the southbound lane and collided with a semi-truck. They did not survive. The Department of Public Safety wrote it up in a report that makes it sound like the crash was their fault — one sentence, one direction of travel, one conclusion. And now you are being told to accept it. We are writing this page because that DPS report is a starting point, not an ending. A vehicle does not leave its lane for no reason. The reason it left is the single most important question in your case, and the answer is sitting in evidence that is disappearing right now — the truck’s electronic logs, the car’s black box, the dashcam footage, the autopsy samples, the skid marks on the asphalt. Every one of those has a clock on it, and…
