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…

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…

Stafford County Tragedy: How Golf Cart Street Legalization Could Lead to Deadly 18-Wheeler Accidents The recent death of a Haysville driver in Stafford County, Kansas, serves as a grim warning about the unintended consequences of mixing slow-moving vehicles with high-speed commercial traffic. While the incident itself didn’t involve a commercial truck, the proposed ordinance in nearby Great Bend to allow golf carts on certain city streets creates dangerous conditions that could easily lead to catastrophic 18-wheeler accidents on Stafford County’s highways. At Attorney911, we’ve seen firsthand how size and speed disparities between vehicles create deadly collisions. An 80,000-pound truck traveling at 65 mph needs 525 feet to stop - nearly two football fields. A golf cart traveling at 20 mph presents an impossible stopping scenario when these vehicles share the same roadway. The Great Bend Ordinance: A Recipe for Disaster The proposed Ordinance No. 4467 in Great Bend would permit golf carts, micro-utility trucks, and work-site utility vehicles on designated streets with speed limits of 30 mph or less. While the ordinance includes safety provisions, the reality is that these vehicles would be sharing roadways with commercial trucks that routinely travel through the area. Key Provisions of the Ordinance: Prohibited…

Houston Avenue Bridge Hit for Third Time in 2026: Why This 18-Wheeler’s Too-Tall Load Forced I-10 Shutdown and What It Means for Angleton Drivers By Attorney911 | The Manginello Law Firm The Anatomy of a Bridge Strike: How a Too-Tall Load Becomes a Highway Nightmare What “Too Tall” Really Means When we say the load was “too tall,” we’re talking about a violation of 49 CFR § 393.100, which requires that cargo be contained, immobilized, or secured to prevent shifting or loss during transit. But more specifically, this was a clearance violation. The Houston Avenue Bridge has a vertical clearance of 14 feet, 6 inches—a measurement that’s clearly marked on signs approaching the bridge. Most standard 18-wheelers with trailers stand about 13 feet, 6 inches tall when empty. Add cargo, and that height increases. What likely happened: - The driver or loading crew failed to measure the loaded height of the trailer - The truck ignored clearance warning signs posted before the bridge - The driver did not have a route plan that accounted for low-clearance bridges - The trucking company failed to provide proper training on height clearance procedures This isn’t just a paperwork violation—it’s a direct violation of…

At Attorney911, we’ve spent over 25 years holding trucking companies accountable for the devastation they cause.

Tragedy on US-62: Brownfield Man Killed in Deadly Pickup-Truck Collision – What Happened and Who’s Responsible? The Crash That Changed Everything It was just before midnight on February 24, 2026, when Rolan Tomlison’s life ended in an instant. The 45-year-old Brownfield resident was driving his 2017 GMC pickup northeast on U.S. Highway 62, about half a mile southwest of County Road 515 in Terry County. What happened next would leave a family shattered and a community searching for answers. A 2016 Freightliner truck-tractor, towing a semi-trailer and driven by 74-year-old Tommy Hanes of Lubbock, was traveling southwest on the same highway. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Hanes turned into a crossover to turn around and travel back northeast on US-62. That’s when disaster struck. The tractor-trailer stalled across both northeast-bound lanes. Tomlison’s pickup collided with the front right of the semi-trailer and the right rear of the tractor, becoming wedged underneath. He was pronounced dead at the scene. This wasn’t just a tragic accident. It was a preventable disaster that raises serious questions about truck safety, driver decision-making, and corporate accountability on Texas highways.

Tragedy on MO 171: How a Big Rig Crash in Carl Junction, MO Took a Life and Left a Family Shattered The Crash That Changed Everything in an Instant It was just before 7 p.m. on a Sunday evening in Carl Junction, Missouri. Johnny Alford, a 68-year-old resident of the small town, was driving his 2004 Dodge Ram pickup truck on Ivy Road at the north edge of town. Two passengers were with him—a 65-year-old woman and a 3-year-old toddler. At the intersection of Ivy Road and MO 171, their lives changed forever. A 2022 Kenworth tractor-trailer, driven by a 24-year-old man from Greeley, was traveling south on MO 171. For reasons still under investigation, the pickup truck entered the path of the big rig. The Kenworth T-boned the Dodge Ram with catastrophic force. Both vehicles careened off the east side of the curve, leaving a scene of twisted metal and shattered lives. The impact was so severe that Johnny Alford, the pickup’s driver, suffered critical injuries. He was rushed to a hospital in Joplin, where he later died from his injuries. The 65-year-old female passenger fared no better. She sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to a Springfield hospital…
