Andrews, Texas: Nine Lives Lost on a Two-Lane Road in the Permian Basin You are reading this because someone you love did not come home from a road in West Texas. Maybe it was a child on a golf team van, heading to a match they would never tee off for. Maybe it was a friend, a teammate, a coach in his first season. Maybe you are the family of someone who survived and was flown to a hospital in Lubbock, and you are sitting in a waiting room trying to understand what happens now. We are going to tell you what the law actually says, what the insurance company is already doing, and what your family’s rights are — in plain language, with the specificity that comes from decades of handling catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases in Texas. On the evening of March 15, 2022, a 12-passenger van carrying the University of the Southwest men’s and women’s golf teams collided head-on with a pickup truck on a two-lane road approximately nine miles from Andrews, Texas, in Andrews County.

Andrews, Texas FM 1788 Head-On Collision: When an Unsafe Pass on a Two-Lane Highway Changes Everything If you are reading this, you were probably on FM 1788 on a Friday afternoon. Or someone you love was. A southbound driver decided to pass another vehicle on a two-lane Farm-to-Market road in Andrews County, in the oil patch of West Texas. The pass was unsafe. A northbound vehicle was right there, in its own lane, doing what it was supposed to do. The impact was head-on. One driver did not survive. The other was loaded into an ambulance and driven roughly thirty-five miles south to Medical Center Hospital in Odessa — the regional Level II trauma center for the Permian Basin — where the word they heard was “minor injuries.” We need to talk about that word. “Minor.” We handle car accident cases across Texas, and the single most dangerous word in your case is the one the hospital used before the full picture developed. A head-on collision on a rural highway — where the speed limit is often 70 mph and two vehicles closing on each other can combine for a closing speed above 140 mph — does not produce “minor”…

Andrews, Andrews County, Texas — What Happened on FM 1788 and What Texas Law Says When Nine People Die on a West Texas Road If you found this page, you already know what happened on March 15, 2022, half a mile north of State Highway 115 on Farm-to-Market Road 1788, east of Andrews. You know nine people are dead — six college golfers, their coach, and a father and his thirteen-year-old son in the pickup that hit them. You know two students survived the van with serious injuries. And you know, or you are beginning to suspect, that the official story has changed more than once. We are writing this page for one person: the family member who is sitting at a kitchen table in Andrews, or Hobbs, or Midland, or Fort Stockton, or Nocona, or Westminster, Colorado, or Portugal, or Mexico — anywhere these seven students and their coach called home — trying to understand what happens next.

Oilfield Rig Slices Through Tractor Trailer at Highway 115 and FM 181 Near Andrews, Texas — Your Legal Rights After a Permian Basin Collision If your truck was the one cut in half on Highway 115 that Monday evening — or if you manage the fleet that lost a tractor and a load on that road — you are reading this because the scene is cleaned up, the rig is parked somewhere, and now the phone calls have started. Somebody from an insurance company wants to talk. Maybe the rig operator’s carrier already sent someone to take photographs. Maybe your own insurer is asking questions that sound friendly and are not. The truck that was sliced open is sitting in a tow yard accruing fees, and the cargo — whatever was in that trailer — is either destroyed, contaminated, or scattered across a West Texas highway. Here is the first thing you need to know: the cause of this collision is unclear from the reporting, and that is exactly why the first move is not a statement to an adjuster. It is a preservation letter. The evidence that will decide who was at fault — the dash camera footage from…

The Crash on FM 1788: What Happened and What It Means for the Family If you are reading this because someone you love was taken from you on Farm-to-Market 1788 near Andrews, Texas — we want you to hear something first. The woman who died that Thursday morning was traveling lawfully southbound, doing what people in Andrews County do every day — driving a road she probably knew by heart. She was not at fault. The legal responsibility for this crash rests on the driver who turned left across oncoming traffic without yielding, and on the insurance system that will now try to pay the family as little as it can get away with. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle wrongful death claims and catastrophic car crash cases across Texas, and we are writing this for one reason: so that the family of the woman killed on FM 1788 understands, in plain language, exactly what their rights are, what the insurance company is already doing, and what evidence is disappearing while they grieve.

Nine people died on a two-lane road in Andrews County on the evening of March 15, 2022 — six students and a coach from a university golf team, the driver of the pickup that crossed into their path, and a thirteen-year-old boy riding with him.

The road’s speed limit was seventy-five miles per hour, and there was no center barrier separating the opposing lanes.

Oilfield Workover Rig Slices Through Tractor Trailer in Andrews, Texas — What Happens Next If you are reading this because a workover rig tore through your tractor trailer on Highway 115 near FM 181 on the evening of January 13, 2025, you are standing in one of the most complex crash scenes in Texas — and the clock on your evidence has already started running. Andrews County sits in the heart of the Permian Basin, where oversized oilfield loads share narrow highways with freight traffic on roads that were never engineered for the volume or the weight they now carry. The footage shows your trailer cut clean in two, debris scattered across the roadway, the workover rig parked nearby. Initial reports say no one was hurt. That may not be the final word. What you do in the first 72 hours — what you say, what you sign, what you preserve — can decide whether this collision becomes a resolved property claim or a fight you lose because the proof disappeared before anyone asked for it.
