3-Year-Old Boy Orphaned in Glen Rose, Glen Rose County, Texas Wrong-Way Drunk Driving Crash That Killed His Mom, Dad, and 5-Year-Old Sister — Attorney911 Brings 25+ Years of Multi-Million Dollar Wrongful Death Litigation, Former Insurance Defense Attorney Insider Advantage, FMCSA Violation Experts, Black Box Evidence Preservation, and Relentless Advocacy for Catastrophic Injury and Tragic Loss Victims — Federal Court Admitted, $50+ Million Recovered for Texas Families, Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, 1-888-ATTY-911, Hablamos Español

Orphaned at 3: The Tragedy of Wrong-Way Drunk Driving on Texas Highways — And How Justice Can Still Be Served A Family Destroyed in Seconds: What Happened on Highway 99 It was just after 2:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning in Fort Bend County, Texas. A young family of four — Lizbeth Rodriguez Contreras, 27; her husband Diego Pena Jr., 26; and their two children, 5-year-old Camila and 3-year-old Dieguito — were driving home from a Christmas party. They were on Highway 99, a major corridor that connects Houston to the Gulf Coast, when their lives were violently cut short. A wrong-way driver, later identified as Majesti Faith Lee, 27, was barreling down the highway in the opposite direction. Alcohol was a factor. Lee, allegedly impaired, crashed head-on into the family’s car. Lizbeth and Camila were killed instantly. Diego was rushed to the hospital with critical injuries but died shortly after. Only Dieguito, the 3-year-old boy, survived — but his survival came at a devastating cost. He was left orphaned, hospitalized in critical but stable condition, facing a lifetime of surgeries, rehabilitation, and the emotional trauma of losing his entire family in an instant. The Aftermath: A Community in Mourning The tragedy sent shockwaves through the Houston area. Lizbeth was a beloved fourth-grade teacher at Metcalf Elementary School in Houston, where her daughter Camila — described as her “mini-me” — also attended preschool. Diego was a handyman, and nothing made Dieguito happier than imitating his father’s work around the house.…

Justice? Anthony Marsh Jr. Father Files Wrongful Death Suit Against 3 Alleged Killers In Teen Girl Fight — Anthony, Anthony County, Texas Wrongful Death Attorneys: Attorney911 Brings 25+ Years of Multi-Million Dollar Verdicts, Former Insurance Defense Attorney Insider Advantage, Catastrophic Injury & Wrongful Death Specialists, Federal Court Admitted, $50+ Million Recovered for Texas Families, Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, 1-888-ATTY-911, Hablamos Español

Justice for Anthony Marsh Jr.: Holding Accountable Those Who Brought a Gun to a Teen Girl Fight A Young Life Cut Short by Reckless Adults Anthony Marsh Jr. was just 21 years old when his life was violently taken on April 19, 2021. He wasn’t involved in the original dispute - he was simply driving home, witnessing a reckless accident caused by Nitisha Page as she fled a confrontation. When Anthony stopped to ask why she had hit his truck, Toney Allen Smith Jr. allegedly opened fire, striking Anthony in the head as he tried to defend himself. He died later at the hospital. This wasn’t just a tragic accident. This was a preventable death caused by adults who made reckless, dangerous choices. Nitisha Page escalated a social media argument between teenagers into a physical confrontation. She brought her daughter and Toney Allen Smith Jr. to the other girl’s home. When the situation turned violent, she fled recklessly, crashing into Anthony’s truck. Toney brought a gun to what should have been a simple argument between teenagers. These weren’t split-second decisions - they were patterns of reckless behavior that culminated in a young man’s death. At Attorney911, we’ve seen too many cases where reckless choices by adults destroy young lives. This case hits particularly hard because Anthony wasn’t even involved in the original dispute. He was simply trying to do the right thing - asking why someone had damaged his property. For that, he paid with his life. The Incident: How…

Pedestrian struck in early-morning crash in South Linden — Attorney911 of Linden, Linden County, Texas delivers 25+ years of courtroom-tested justice, led by Ralph Manginello’s multi-million dollar verdicts, former insurance defense attorney Lupe Peña’s insider tactics, FMCSA regulation mastery, black box evidence extraction, and comprehensive pedestrian injury representation including TBI, spinal trauma, and wrongful death — free 24/7 consultation, no fee unless we win, 1-888-ATTY-911, Hablamos Español

Pedestrian Struck in Early-Morning Crash in South Linden: What Linden, Linden County, Texas Families Need to Know The Incident: What Happened in South Linden Shortly before 5:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning, a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle near the intersection of Cleveland and East 17th avenues in South Linden. The victim was rushed to Grant Medical Center in critical condition but was later upgraded to stable. What remains unknown is whether the vehicle involved stayed at the scene. This incident is a stark reminder of the dangers pedestrians face on Linden, Linden County, Texas’s streets—especially during early morning hours when visibility is low and drivers may be fatigued or distracted. While this particular crash occurred in Ohio, the same risks exist right here in Linden, Linden County, Texas, where our firm has seen far too many similar tragedies. Why Early-Morning Pedestrian Accidents Are So Dangerous The Physics of Pedestrian vs. Vehicle Collisions When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle—even at relatively low speeds—the results can be catastrophic. Unlike car-to-car collisions where both vehicles have some protection, pedestrians have no physical barrier between them and the impact. The human body simply isn’t designed to withstand the forces involved in a collision with a 3,000+ pound vehicle. At 30 mph, a pedestrian has a 45% chance of fatality. At 40 mph, that jumps to 85%. Even at 20 mph, serious injuries are likely. These statistics aren’t just numbers—they represent real lives changed forever, real families left grieving, and real medical…

Two Transported After Semi-Truck Crash on FM 1472 in Laredo: What Happened and What Comes Next The Crash That Changed Lives in an Instant It happened fast—too fast. Around 1:30 p.m. on March 10, 2026, a collision between a semi-truck and a Nissan vehicle on FM 1472 near State Highway 255 in Laredo sent shockwaves through the community. The Nissan ended up on its side. Two people were transported to the hospital. No details on their conditions were immediately available. But we know this: when an 80,000-pound truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the consequences are rarely minor. The physics don’t lie. The force of impact can be catastrophic. And in the aftermath, families are left with questions, medical bills, and uncertainty about what comes next. At Attorney911, we’ve seen this scenario play out hundreds of times. We know what happens in the hours, days, and weeks after a crash like this. We know how trucking companies respond. We know what evidence disappears if you don’t act fast. And we know how to fight for the compensation victims deserve. If you or a loved one has been involved in a trucking accident in Laredo or anywhere in Texas, this is what you need to know—right now. The Dangers of FM 1472 and Laredo’s Trucking Corridors A Highway Built for Commerce, Not Safety FM 1472 is designed to move goods, not protect families. It’s a functional route, not a modern interstate with safety features like wide shoulders, rumble strips, or advanced…

Two Transported After Crash on FM 1472 in Laredo: What Happened and Why It Matters for Texas Trucking Safety The Crash That Changed Lives in an Instant It happened fast. Too fast. On March 10, 2026, at approximately 1:30 p.m., a collision between a semi-truck and a Nissan vehicle near FM 1472 and State Highway 255 sent shockwaves through the Laredo community. The Nissan ended up on its side. Two people were transported to the hospital. No details about their conditions or the circumstances were immediately available. But here’s what we know for certain: when an 80,000-pound truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the consequences are rarely minor. The physics don’t lie. The truck’s weight—20 to 25 times that of a typical car—creates forces that passenger vehicles simply aren’t designed to withstand. This isn’t just another traffic report. This is a story about how quickly lives can change, how trucking companies prioritize profit over safety, and why Laredo families need to understand their rights when tragedy strikes on our highways. FM 1472 and SH 255: A Dangerous Intersection for Laredo Drivers FM 1472 and State Highway 255 aren’t just random roads—they’re critical arteries in the Laredo transportation network. FM 1472, also known as Mines Road, is a major east-west corridor that connects Laredo to the Port of Laredo and the Colombia-Solidarity International Bridge, one of the busiest commercial crossings in the Western Hemisphere. State Highway 255, or Bob Bullock Loop, is a key north-south route that handles significant truck traffic…
