Gaines County U.S. 385 Rollover Crash: What Happened and What Your Family Can Do If you are reading this because someone you love was in that Dodge Ram on U.S. 385 on July 2, 2026, we want you to hear something before anything else: your first priority is the child at University Medical Center in Lubbock and the people around you who are hurting. The legal work can happen in parallel, quietly, without adding to what you are already carrying. You do not have to understand any of this tonight. You just need to know that the clock on evidence has already started, and that there are people who can freeze it for you while you grieve. A 30-year-old woman from Ropesville lost her life on a stretch of U.S. Highway 385 near mile marker 260 in Gaines County, Texas. A 13-year-old girl was flown or driven roughly 80 to 90 miles north to the nearest Level I trauma center in Lubbock with serious injuries. Three other children — ages 11, 12, and 7 — were inside the same vehicle. The Texas Department of Public Safety is still investigating why the Dodge left its lane and collided with a Toyota Tacoma before rolling over. We are going to walk you through what the law says your family can do, what evidence is already disappearing, what the insurance company is already doing, and what this kind of case is worth — honestly, with no sugarcoating. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello…

What Happened on South Service Road — and Why It Was Not an “Accident” If you are reading this page, you already know the outline of what happened. Late on the night of May 2, a 2025 Nissan Versa was traveling east on the south side of Midland, near the intersection of South Service Road and Cotton Flat Road. According to the Midland Police Department affidavit, the driver did not stop at a stop sign. The vehicle continued through the intersection at a high rate of speed, struck a curb, became airborne over a drainage retention pond, and rolled over. The passenger — 32 years old — suffered serious injuries and was taken to Midland Memorial Hospital, where he fought for fifteen days before dying on May 17. Texas Department of Public Safety toxicology results later confirmed the driver’s blood alcohol concentration was 0.143 — nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08. She has been charged with intoxication manslaughter. We are Attorney911. We are writing to you — the family, the parent, the spouse, the friend who is sitting at a kitchen table in Midland or Odessa or anywhere across the Permian Basin, trying to understand what comes next. Here is the first thing you need to hear: this was not an accident. In the law, “accident” means something unforeseeable. A person who chooses to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.143 — who runs a stop sign at high speed and launches a vehicle over a drainage pond…

A Two-Year-Old Girl Died on Andrews Highway. Here Is What the Law Says, and What Has to Happen Now. On July 10, 2026, a crash at the intersection of Andrews Highway and 100th Street in north Odessa left a two-year-old girl with injuries so serious she was flown by helicopter to UMC Children’s Hospital in Lubbock — roughly two hours north by ground, a distance that tells you the local hospitals could not treat what happened to her. Three days later, on July 13, she died. Her family made the decision to donate her organs. The Odessa Police Department investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not yet released details about what caused the crash or which vehicle she was in. A 68-year-old person also involved was treated at Medical Center Hospital in Odessa with injuries that were not life-threatening. The community has spoken publicly about that intersection — a multi-lane highway controlled by nothing more than a stop sign despite the residential developments that have multiplied around it and the crashes that have accumulated there for years. We are writing this for one person: someone in Odessa, or Midland, or anywhere in Ector County, who lost a child or a loved one on a road they warned people about, and who is sitting at a kitchen table at an hour when nobody should be awake, trying to understand what their rights are and whether anyone will ever answer for what happened. We are going to tell you everything we know…

‘Forever 12’: Boy dies from injuries in Midland crash following high-speed pursuit – CBS7

Midland, Texas High-Speed Pursuit Crash: Your Family’s Legal Rights After a Child’s Wrongful Death If you are reading this page, someone you love was taken from you in Midland — a child, a brother, a son — and the grief is still so raw that the idea of calling a lawyer feels like a betrayal of the mourning you need to do. We understand that. We also know that the evidence proving what happened to your family is disappearing right now, on a clock measured in days, not months. The dashcam footage of the pursuit, the dispatch recordings, the black-box data from the vehicles — these records are legally allowed to be erased while you are still making funeral arrangements. That is the single most urgent truth on this page, and everything else we are about to tell you exists to protect your ability to seek accountability before that proof is gone. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We are writing to you as the senior trial attorneys who handle Texas wrongful death and catastrophic-injury cases, including cases arising from high-speed pursuits and felony-evading crashes. We are not your lawyers yet, and nothing on this page is legal advice for your specific situation. This is legal information — the governing law, the evidence clocks, the honest case-value reality, and the playbook the other side is already running — so that when you are ready, you call from a position of knowledge, not fear. The call is free. The…

Midland, Texas West Wall Street Mass Shooting — Legal Rights of Victims and Families If you are reading this from the cafeteria at Midland Memorial Hospital, where they set up the family reunification area, or from a kitchen table at two in the morning while someone you love is in surgery — we are talking to you. Not to the internet. To you. One person you know is gone. Eleven more are hurt, some of them badly, and the Emergency Department is still locked down. The suspect is dead. The police have the building. And the thing you may not know, in the fog of this moment, is that the evidence of what went wrong inside that building on West Wall Street is already starting to disappear. The cameras inside that industrial facility record over themselves on a cycle that can be as short as seven days. The access-control logs — the badge swipes and key-card records that show how the shooter got in — sit on a server that can be purged on a routine IT schedule. The police body-worn camera footage, the 911 call recordings, the witness cell-phone videos that people took while the shooting was happening — each of those has its own retention clock, and every one of them is shorter than you think. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We are a Texas trial firm, and the first thing we do in a case like this, the day you call, is send the…

Three Workers Went to Their Jobs at a Midland Trucking Business and Did Not Come Home — What the Families Need to Know Right Now If you are reading this page, someone you love was taken from you at a trucking business off East Highway 80 near the Interstate 20 frontage road in Midland. Three workers were fatally shot. The Midland County Sheriff’s Office is investigating. And in the days since, you have probably already heard from the employer’s insurance company, from a workers’ compensation adjuster, or from someone handing you a form to sign — all while you are trying to bury your family member and understand how this could happen in a place where people were just doing their jobs. We are writing this page for you. Not to sell you anything, and not to pretend we know exactly what happened inside that facility — the sheriff’s investigation is still active, and the facts will come out in time. We are writing it because the decisions a family makes in the first weeks after a death like this can determine whether the truth ever comes out in a civil courtroom and whether the people who could have prevented this ever answer for it. Those decisions should not be made in the dark. What we can tell you right now is this: workers’ compensation death benefits are likely available to the families, but they may be a fraction of what your family is actually owed. There may be a…

Fatal Midland Crash: Court Documents, a Teen’s Death, and the Legal Rights of Five Families If you are reading this, someone you love was taken from you on a Midland roadway — or you are one of the four people who survived that crash and are hurting in ways you may not fully understand yet. Court documents have surfaced. The fact that they exist means the justice system is now engaged, law enforcement has pursued charges, and a prosecutor’s file is open. While that criminal case runs its course, a separate clock is ticking on your civil rights — the right to hold the at-fault party accountable in a way that actually provides for the people left behind and the survivors who will carry the physical and emotional cost for years. We are writing this for the parent who lost a teenager, for the spouse who got the worst phone call of their life, for the survivor sitting in a hospital bed trying to piece together what happened, and for the family member searching at 2 a.m. trying to understand what those court documents actually mean for them. What follows is what we would tell you if you were sitting across the table from us right now — the law, the evidence, the deadlines, the money, and the playbook the insurance company is already running against you. You do not have to figure this out alone. You do have to move faster than you think. And the first thing you…

Odessa Shooting at Pat’s Place: Negligent Security, Wrongful Death, and What Texas Law Allows If you are reading this because someone you love was shot at Pat’s Place on Andrews Highway — or because you were the one in surgery at a hospital in Odessa while your family waited in a hallway that smelled like antiseptic and sounded like machines counting someone’s pulse — then you already know the worst part. The part that comes next is what we can help with. A shooting inside a commercial establishment after 11 p.m. on a Friday night is not just a crime. It is also a civil question: did the business that invited people through its doors do what the law requires to keep them alive? That question has a deadline in Texas, and the evidence that answers it is already disappearing. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle catastrophic-injury and wrongful-death cases in Texas, including negligent-security claims arising from shootings at bars, venues, and commercial establishments. This page is a full analysis of what happened at 7405 Andrews Highway on November 4, 2022, what Texas law says about a business’s duty when violence walks through its door, and what families should know — whether their loss was at Pat’s Place or at any establishment in the Permian Basin that failed to protect the people who spent money inside its walls. What Happened at Pat’s Place: The Incident as a Case Study On Friday, November 4, 2022, after…
