Tragedy on State Highway 302: Iraan Woman Dies in Rear-End Crash with Stopped Semi-Truck A Preventable Loss on West Texas Roads The morning of March 26, 2026, began like any other for residents along State Highway 302 in Winkler County, Texas. By 6:00 a.m., the sun was just beginning to rise over the vast West Texas landscape, casting long shadows across the two-lane highway that cuts through the Permian Basin’s oil fields and ranchlands. At mile marker 236, traffic had come to a complete stop due to an earlier crash—a common hazard on these high-speed corridors where commercial trucks, oil field vehicles, and passenger cars share the road. Among those caught in the unexpected traffic was Linnie Mabry Holley, a 77-year-old woman from Iraan, Texas. What should have been a momentary pause turned into tragedy when the Kia Rio she was driving was struck from behind by a westbound semi-truck that failed to stop in time. The impact was catastrophic. Linnie was pronounced dead at the scene, her life cut short by a crash that never should have happened. At Attorney911, we’ve seen this pattern too many times.
