Tragedy on State Highway 78: How a U-Turn Turned Deadly in Bonham, Texas The Crash That Changed Everything It was a Saturday morning like any other in Fannin County. Nancy Malone, 85, was driving northbound on State Highway 78 near County Road 2510, just north of Bonham. She made a U-turn—perhaps to head back to Van Alstyne, perhaps to correct a wrong turn. What happened next was catastrophic. An 18-wheeler, driven by Woodrow Dallas, 57, of Sherman, was traveling in the same direction. The truck’s trailer struck Malone’s vehicle. The impact was immediate and devastating. Malone was pronounced dead at the scene. Woodrow Dallas was taken to Texoma Medical Center with injuries. The truck, now a symbol of tragedy, remained on the scene as investigators began piecing together what went wrong. This wasn’t just an accident. It was a preventable tragedy—one that raises serious questions about road safety, driver awareness, and the responsibilities of commercial carriers operating on Texas highways. At Attorney911, we’ve seen this pattern before. U-turns and commercial trucks are a dangerous combination. The physics are simple: an 80,000-pound truck can’t stop like a passenger car. The legal implications are complex: multiple parties may be liable, and evidence…

Insurers Judged By The Trucking “Company” They Keep: How Forney, Texas Trucking Accidents Reveal a Broken Safety System When Insurance Becomes the Problem, Not the Solution Every year, thousands of families across Texas are devastated by 18-wheeler accidents. In Forney and Forney County, these crashes happen on I-20, US-67, and the local roads that connect our community to the nation’s freight network. But there’s a hidden factor that makes these accidents even more tragic: the insurance companies that are supposed to protect victims often enable the very trucking companies that cause the crashes. The recent investigation into trucking industry insurance practices reveals a disturbing pattern. Insurance companies - the very entities we rely on to compensate victims - are systematically failing to act as the gatekeepers they’re supposed to be. Instead of weeding out dangerous trucking operations, they’re insuring them, renewing their policies, and putting profits over safety. This isn’t just bad business - it’s a legal emergency for Forney families. At Attorney911, we’ve seen this pattern firsthand. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, has spent over 25 years holding trucking companies accountable in Texas courtrooms. What we’ve learned is shocking: the insurance history of a trucking company tells you more…

Tragedy on I-16: Five Georgia Southern Nursing Students Killed in Preventable Trucking Disaster A Catastrophic Chain Reaction That Should Never Have Happened The morning of February 22, 2026, began like any other for five promising young women from Georgia Southern University. Emily Clark, Morgan Bass, Abbie Deloach, Catherine (McKay) Pittman, and Caitlyn Baggett—all junior nursing students—were commuting to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Savannah for their final clinical training day of the school year. Their futures in healthcare were bright, their dedication to healing others unwavering. By 5:45 a.m., their lives had been violently cut short. In a devastating seven-vehicle pileup on eastbound Interstate 16 near mile marker 140 in Bryan County, Georgia, these five students were killed when a tractor-trailer plowed into stopped traffic. Two other students, Brittney McDaniel and Megan Richards, survived with serious injuries. The accident scene was so horrific that Bryan County Sheriff Clyde Smith called it “one of the worst wrecks” he’d seen in his 21-year career. This wasn’t just a tragic accident—it was a preventable disaster caused by a cascade of failures in the trucking industry. At Attorney911, we’ve spent 25+ years holding trucking companies accountable for exactly this type of negligence. What happened on…

Overloaded Plane Crash in Alaska: How Improper Loading and Unapproved Cargo Led to Tragedy When a Simple Hunting Trip Turned Deadly: The Alaska Moose Meat Plane Crash It was supposed to be a routine hunting trip. A group of hunters flew into the remote wilderness near St. Mary’s, Alaska on September 12, 2023. They successfully harvested a moose, and the first flight to ferry the meat to a larger airport went smoothly. But on the second trip—just after takeoff—the small Piper PA-18 plane crashed. The pilot, the only person onboard, died shortly after the accident despite first aid from the hunters. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) spent nearly two years investigating this crash. Their final report, released in July 2025, revealed a shocking truth: the plane was overloaded by 117 pounds—carrying 520 pounds of cargo when it was only certified to handle 403 pounds. The excess weight came from moose meat and a set of antlers strapped to the wing. While Alaska allows antlers to be hung on aircraft wings, this particular plane lacked the required Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval for the practice. The NTSB concluded that the crash was caused by excess weight and the unapproved external…
