Fatal Semi-Truck Crash on FM 307 in Midland: What Your Family Needs to Know Right Now If you are reading this, someone you love is not coming home. A 29-year-old man from Midland was killed on a Monday evening in late January 2025 when a commercial Peterbilt truck turned left across his path on Farm-to-Market Road 307 at Interstate 20. The Texas Department of Public Safety has already said what happened in its preliminary report: the truck failed to yield the right of way. Your son, your husband, your brother — he was doing what he was supposed to do. He was driving straight, in his lane, with the right of way, and a truck that should have waited pulled into his path instead. We are going to tell you everything we know about what happened, what the law gives your family, and — most urgently — what is already disappearing. Because the worst truth about a commercial truck crash is this: the evidence that proves what really happened is on a clock measured in days and weeks, not months. The truck’s engine computer, the driver’s hours-of-service logs, the camera footage, the cell phone records — all of it can…

Tamara Jan Cates, 63, Killed When a Semi-Truck Struck Her E-Bike From Behind on Midland’s Business 20 Service Road: Attorney911 Pursues the Permian Basin Carriers Behind 80,000-Pound Rigs That Fail to Share the Road With Cyclists, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, We Extract the ECM Black-Box Data, Dashcam Footage and ELD Hours-of-Service Logs Before the Overwrite, FMCSA Mandatory Post-Fatality Drug and Alcohol Testing Under 49 CFR, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies Commercial Wrongful-Death Cases, Texas Wrongful-Death Act and the Stowers Doctrine That Creates Bad-Faith Exposure When the Insurer Rejects a Reasonable Demand Within Policy Limits, the Firm Has Recovered $2.5M+ in Truck-Crash Cases and Millions in Wrongful-Death Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Midland E-Bike Fatality: A Woman Killed by a Commercial Truck on Business 20 — and the Evidence That Is Disappearing While You Read This If you are reading this because someone you love was killed on that service road, we want you to know three things before anything else. First: she had every legal right to be on that road — Texas law permits cyclists and e-bike riders on service roads, and a commercial truck that strikes a cyclist from behind is, in the language of the law, presumptively at fault. Second: the evidence that will decide this case — the truck’s electronic data, its camera footage, the driver’s hours-of-service logs — is on a clock, and some of it can legally be erased in a matter of days. Third: you do not have to figure out any of this alone, and the call costs you nothing. On the evening of February 6, 2025, at approximately 7:35 p.m., a 63-year-old Midland resident was riding an e-bicycle eastbound on the Business 20 service road near County Road 1103 in Midland County. A 2020 International truck pulling a trailer, traveling in the same direction, struck her from behind. She was pronounced dead…

Midland Intoxication Manslaughter: Your Family’s Civil Rights After a Fatal DUI Crash You are reading this because someone you love was killed in a crash in Midland, and the person behind the wheel has been charged with intoxication manslaughter. The criminal case is in the news. A prosecutor is handling it. You may be sitting at a kitchen table in Midland or Odessa, looking at a phone that still has your loved one’s last text on it, and nobody from the system has explained to you what your family’s rights are in all of this. The district attorney does not represent you. The criminal case does not compensate you. And the evidence that could make or break a civil case — the bar’s surveillance video, the credit card receipts showing where she was served, the footage of how obviously intoxicated she was before she got behind the wheel — is disappearing on a clock that started the day of the crash, not the day you called a lawyer. Roughly two months have already passed. We need to talk about what that means. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle wrongful death claims and catastrophic car crash cases…

Midland Loop 250 Head-On Collision: Your Legal Rights After a Crossover Crash Killed One and Critically Injured a Child If you are reading this, someone you love was in the westbound lanes of Loop 250 near the Midkiff onramp on a Wednesday evening in July 2014, when a pickup came across the median and everything changed. You may be sitting in a hospital corridor at Midland Memorial while an eight-year-old fights in intensive care. You may be the driver who is battered and broken and trying to understand how a normal drive near Midland Park Mall turned into a head-on collision. You may be the grandparent of a three-year-old who was in that SUV and is now being watched for injuries you cannot yet see. Whoever you are, you are in the first hours or weeks of something that will not be over for a long time — and what you do next, what you say, what you sign, what you preserve, will shape whether the people who depend on you are protected years from now. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle car accident, catastrophic injury, and wrongful death cases in Texas. This page is…

Midland Semi-Truck Crash at East Buttles and State: What Every Family Needs to Know After a July 4 Fatal Truck Collision If you are reading this, someone you love was taken from you on a day meant for celebration. An 85-year-old man from your community is gone. His wife, also 85, is hurt and in a hospital bed. The truck driver walked away without a scratch. That asymmetry — who walked away and who did not — is not bad luck. It is physics, and it is the reason the law treats commercial truck crashes differently from ordinary car accidents. We are Attorney911, The Manginello Law Firm. We handle commercial-truck wrongful-death cases, and this page exists because the first 72 hours after a fatal truck crash are when evidence either gets preserved or disappears forever. The truck’s electronic data, the driver’s hours-of-service logs, the dashcam footage, and the scene itself are all on a clock measured in days — not months. Everything you are about to read is legal information, not legal advice, and contacting us is free and confidential. But the information here is the same analysis we would give a family sitting across from us, because the decisions…

Midland Construction-Zone Truck Accident: When a Tree Falls, a Teacher Dies, and the Evidence Is Already Disappearing If you are reading this because someone you love was hurt or killed in the crash at East Buttles and State streets in Midland on the Saturday of Fourth of July weekend, we want you to hear one thing before anything else: the cause of this crash is not yet known, and anyone who tells you they already know what happened is either guessing or trying to close the case before the evidence is examined. What we do know — from the witnesses, from the scene, from the five hours your loved one survived — is that this crash happened inside an active construction zone, that a large tree fell during or immediately before the collision, that a semi-truck from Tennessee was involved, and that approximately twenty-five people ran toward the wreck to help. What we also know is that the single most important piece of evidence in this case — that fallen tree and its root system — is being destroyed right now, possibly within days, unless someone formally demands it be preserved. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC.…

Midland Semi-Truck Fatal Crash at East Buttles and State Street: What Families Need to Know It was the Fourth of July. A Saturday afternoon in Midland, Michigan, and an 85-year-old man who lived in this town was driving through the intersection at East Buttles and State streets — the same crossing thousands of people use every week on their way to work, to the store, to home. He had a passenger with him, an 85-year-old woman, also from Midland. At about four o’clock, a semi-truck came through that same intersection. The driver of the car was taken to MyMichigan Medical Center Midland with serious injuries and did not survive. His passenger was treated for injuries that were not life-threatening. The driver of the semi-truck — a 47-year-old man from Memphis, Tennessee — was not injured. What the news did not tell you is what happens now. Because when a commercial truck is involved in a death, the machinery of accountability is completely different from a car crash — and the clock on the evidence starts the moment the vehicles stop moving. You are reading this because someone you love was in that car. We are writing this because what happens…

Midland, Texas Shooting: Legal Rights of Victims and Families After the June 2026 Mass Shooting If you are reading this from a chair beside a bed at Midland Memorial Hospital, or from a kitchen table where a chair is now empty, we are writing to you. Not at you — to you. What happened on that commercial corridor west of downtown Midland on the morning of June 12, 2026, was not an act of God, and the legal system has more to offer you than the criminal case that ended when the shooter was found dead in an abandoned veterinary clinic a few hours later. One person is gone. Ten more are injured — five were discharged, four went to surgery, and as the first reports circulated, one was still in the operating suite. The man who did this is dead. The question that remains is whether anyone else is responsible, and the answer — in Texas law, in the evidence that is dying right now on the DVRs of every business along that corridor, and in the duty that commercial property owners owed the people walking past their buildings — is that someone else may well be. We are…

Midland County Loop 250 Fatal Crash: What the Families of Three People Killed in a Single-Vehicle Accident Need to Know Right Now If you are reading this because someone you love was in that Ford Mustang on Loop 250 in the early hours of January 2, 2026, we want you to hear something first: the passengers in that car — your daughter, your son, your friend, your partner — bore zero responsibility for what happened. They got in a car and trusted it to carry them home. That trust was broken, and the law gives their families rights that are entirely separate from anything the driver did or did not do. You are not suing your loved one’s friend. You are pursuing the systems that were supposed to protect them and did not. Three people are dead. A twenty-year-old driver was transported to Midland Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead. A passenger was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. A third person was found dead and has not yet been identified. The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating. The vehicle caught fire after impact. Those facts — a post-collision fire, a passenger ejection, a barrier sequence…

Midland Active Shooter — Your Legal Rights After the June 2026 Mass Shooting If you are reading this at 2 a.m. in Midland, Texas — because your husband went to work Friday morning for the City of Midland and never came home, or because you are one of the ten people who heard the shots and felt the bullets and are now sitting in a hospital bed wondering how you will pay for the surgeries, or because someone you love is one of those people — we are talking to you. Not to a general audience. To you. What happened on June 12, 2026, in southeast Midland, moving across the southern portion of the city to the 4600 block of West Wall Street, was not just a crime. It was a catastrophe that left one man dead — Ed Scott, a city employee, a husband, a father, a man the community itself called “a good person all the way around” — and ten more people injured, some of them catastrophically. The shooter is dead. The Texas Rangers are investigating. And in the silence after the sirens, the question that no news article will answer for you is the one that…
