Hit-and-Run Truck Accident in Daingerfield: Why This Case Demands Immediate Legal Action Every year, thousands of Texans are injured in trucking accidents. But when a driver flees the scene—leaving a victim stranded on the side of the road—that’s not just negligence. That’s a deliberate act that compounds the trauma and makes justice harder to secure. This is exactly what happened on February 18, 2026, at the intersection of Broadnax Street and Webb Street in Daingerfield, Texas. Around 8:20 p.m., a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle while working on his disabled 18-wheeler, which was parked off the roadway. The victim was injured and rushed to the hospital—his condition still unknown. What makes this case especially egregious? The driver didn’t stop. He didn’t call for help. He left the scene, only to be identified later and taken into custody at his home. The driver has been named as John Dupriest Jr., 65, of Daingerfield. But this case isn’t just about one reckless driver. It’s about a systemic failure—one that puts profit over safety, cuts corners on training, and turns a blind eye to the dangers on our roads. At Attorney911, we’ve seen this pattern before. Trucking companies push drivers to meet…

Exeter Township Parking Lot Tragedy: How a Boscov’s Pickup Truck Claimed Two Lives and What Victoria Families Need to Know The Incident: What Happened in Exeter Township It was a typical Monday afternoon in Exeter Township, Pennsylvania—until it wasn’t. Around 3:10 AM on February 18, 2026, in the parking lot of the Boscov’s department store on the 4500 block of Perkiomen Avenue, a pickup truck struck two women who were walking through the lot. The impact was immediate and devastating. Ann Arena, 76, of Caernarvon Township, Berks County, was killed. A second woman, whose name hasn’t been released, was hospitalized with injuries that remain unknown. The pickup truck remained at the scene, and the driver stayed to cooperate with investigators.

What was the speed of the pickup truck at the time of impact? Was the driver distracted—by a phone, the radio, or something else?
