‘It’s Unbelievable’: The Hidden Dangers of Road Construction Crews and How One Harker Heights Family Lost a Son A Preventable Tragedy on SH-195 The morning of February 17, 2026, began like any other for the Hurdle family in Harker Heights. LaRyzen Hurdle, a 24-year-old with dreams of creating video games and a laugh that could light up any room, left for work at 5:00 AM. His grandmother Velda remembers the ordinary goodbye - “We just saw him that morning because he left for work at 5 that morning and we got the call around 2 in the afternoon and it was just like ‘no, there’s no way this is happening.’” By 1:12 AM that night, LaRyzen was gone. Not from a violent crime, not from an illness - but from a preventable collision on State Highway 195 in Williamson County. A collision that never should have happened. A collision that reveals the hidden dangers lurking in Texas’s road construction zones and the trucking industry’s systemic failures that put families like the Hurdles in our community at risk every single day.

18-Wheeler Crashes into Overpass in Edinburg: What Happened and What Comes Next Every year, thousands of 18-wheeler accidents occur on Texas highways. But when a massive commercial truck loses control and crashes into an overpass, the potential for catastrophic consequences becomes all too real. This is exactly what happened on February 17, 2026, when an 18-wheeler lost control on the I-69C northbound frontage road in Edinburg, Texas, colliding with the bottom of the Ramseyer Road overpass. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) confirmed the incident, reporting that the truck “lost control” before striking the overpass. While no fatalities were reported in this specific crash, the scene created significant traffic disruptions as first responders worked to clear the wreckage. For drivers in the Rio Grande Valley, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by large commercial vehicles on our roads.

Tragedy on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel: How Perdue’s Negligence Cost Ronnie Andrews His Life A Preventable Disaster Unfolds on Virginia’s Most Dangerous Bridge The morning of February 15, 2026, began like any other for Ronnie Andrews. The 61-year-old Perdue truck driver was hauling a load of chicken from the company’s processing plant in Accomac, Virginia, to the Charlotte area. He had spoken with his wife Lovie the night before—was in good spirits, showed no signs of fatigue, and had no concerns about the trip ahead. He was familiar with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT), having driven it countless times before. But by 6:40 a.m., Ronnie’s life would end in a violent crash that sent his Perdue tractor-trailer plunging through the southbound guardrail and into the bay below. His body was recovered Sunday evening, but the questions surrounding his death—and Perdue’s role in it—will linger far longer. At Attorney911, we’ve seen this tragedy unfold too many times. Trucking companies like Perdue prioritize profits over safety, pushing drivers beyond their limits and cutting corners on maintenance. When those decisions lead to fatal crashes, families like the Andrews deserve justice. This is the story of what happened, why it happened, and how we…
