He was taken to the hospital with injuries he would not survive. The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating.

Fatal Motorcycle vs. Semi-Truck Crash at Washington and Loop 335 in Amarillo, Texas — Your Family’s Rights After a Left-Turn Truck Collision If you are reading this because someone you love was killed on a motorcycle at the intersection of Washington Street and Loop 335 in Amarillo, we want you to hear one thing before anything else: the semi-truck driver who turned left across that motorcyclist’s path had a legal duty to yield to oncoming traffic. That duty does not disappear because witnesses said the motorcycle was traveling fast. The truck driver’s failure to confirm the turn could be completed safely is the central legal issue in this case — and the defense knows it, which is exactly why you will hear about speed before you hear about the duty to yield. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that takes Texas wrongful death and commercial-truck crash cases. Ralph Manginello has spent 27+ years in courtrooms, including federal court.

Fatal Motorcycle-Truck Crash on Amarillo’s South Loop 335: Your Family’s Rights After a Commercial Trucking Death If you are reading this page, someone you love was taken from you on a Wednesday in August, on a road you probably know by heart.

Amarillo, Texas Fatal Motorcycle vs. Semi-Truck Crash on South Loop 335: What Happened, What the Law Says, and What the Family Must Do Now If you are reading this because someone you love was killed on a motorcycle in Amarillo — near South Loop 335 and South Washington Street, on a Wednesday in August 2026 — we are talking to you. Not to a search engine. Not to a crowd. To you, at whatever hour this is, in whatever room you are sitting in, trying to understand what just happened to your family and what you are supposed to do next. A motorcyclist died in a collision with a tractor-trailer at one of the heaviest freight intersections in the Texas Panhandle. The scene was strewn with debris from both vehicles — motorcycle parts and truck parts mixed across the asphalt, the geometry of that debris telling a story that no news headline can carry. The reporting does not tell us who had the right-of-way, what the speed was, what the road conditions were, or which commercial carrier operated that tractor-trailer. It does not name the driver or the company. It does not tell us whether the motorcyclist died instantly or…

A Motorcyclist Is Dead on South Washington Street Because a Tractor-Trailer Turned Left Into Their Path — Here Is What That Means for the Family If you are reading this, someone you love is gone.

The rider was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and was later pronounced dead.

Amarillo, Texas Wildfire Smoke Highway Deaths: Who Is Responsible When Smoke Causes a Fatal Crash You are reading this because someone you love did not come home from the interstate. The Panhandle wind pushed wildfire smoke across the highway — thick enough to swallow the road, thick enough to erase the taillights ahead — and in those seconds of near-zero visibility, a crash happened that should not have happened. A five-year-old girl is dead. Fifty-eight families lost their homes. And the first thing the insurance adjuster or the government spokesperson told you was probably some version of “it was an act of God” or “nobody could have prevented this.” We are here to tell you that the law does not accept that answer as easily as the people saying it do. A wildfire may be a natural event, but the chain of decisions that turned that natural event into a fatal highway hazard — the fire’s origin, the highway that stayed open, the warnings that came too late or not at all — is a chain of human choices. And human choices have legal consequences. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle wrongful death claims and catastrophic…
