Reeves County, Texas: A Construction Worker Killed on I-20 — and the Evidence That Is Already Dying If you are reading this page, someone you love was working on Interstate 20 in Reeves County on April 3, 2025, and a tractor-trailer came through that construction zone and did not stop. The driver has been charged with failure to stop and render aid in a collision involving death. The trucking company that put that driver and that 20-year-old Freightliner on the road has not been named in the news. And every hour that passes without a preservation letter on file is an hour the evidence is erasing itself — the engine data, the driver’s qualification file, the construction-zone configuration, the drug test that federal law required within 32 hours and that window has already closed. We are going to tell you everything we know about what happened, what the law allows your family to pursue, what the trucking company is already doing to protect itself, and what evidence has to be frozen before it disappears. This is not a sales pitch. This is the education a family needs at 2 a.m. when the funeral is being planned and the adjuster has…

Reeves County Oilfield Accident: One Dead, Two Injured at a ProPetro Frac Site on SH 285 If you found this page, you already know what happened on the night of January 27, 2025, eight miles south of Pecos on State Highway 285, at the Permian Resources–Guthrie State D 132H well site where ProPetro Services was running a hydraulic fracturing operation. A pressurized device ruptured. A 45-year-old man named Edward Rodriguez was killed — decapitated by the energy release. Two other workers were injured, one so badly he may lose an arm, the other treated for lesser injuries at Reeves Regional Hospital in Pecos before the most badly hurt was flown to Medical Center Hospital in Odessa, the regional trauma center more than an hour away. We are not going to pretend that what happened to your family is a statistic. A man went to work on a frac pad in the Delaware Basin and did not come home. Two other men were hurt beside him. And right now, while you are reading this at a kitchen table or a hospital waiting room, the evidence that would explain exactly what failed and why is disappearing — the ruptured device, the pressure…

The Crash on Highway 285 — and Why the Clock Is Already Running If you are reading this because a semi truck turned into your path on Highway 285 and your world caught fire — literally or figuratively — you are in the hardest hours of your life. You may be in a hospital bed in Odessa, or sitting at a kitchen table in Pecos with a folder of bills and a phone full of calls from an insurance adjuster who sounds friendly and is not. You may be the one who was burned, or you may be the family of someone who was. Either way, the crash already happened. What happens next is the part that decides whether you get justice or get swallowed by a system designed to close your file cheaply. Here is the first thing you need to know, and it is not comfort — it is a warning. The truck that hit you on Highway 285 near the 302 interchange on October 15, 2025, generated evidence the moment it happened. A driver’s log. A truck’s engine computer. A camera on the dashboard. A post-crash drug and alcohol test result — or the written excuse for…

Reeves County I-20 Tractor-Trailer Hit-and-Run: A Construction Worker Killed in the Work Zone He Was Protecting The call came and your world stopped. A young man from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico — 24 years old, working a construction job on Interstate 20 in Reeves County — was doing his duty inside an active work zone when a tractor-trailer came through and took his life. The truck did not stop. It reentered the westbound lane and kept driving until a construction supervisor flagged it down. Your loved one was pronounced dead at the scene. If you are reading this, you are probably his family.

What the trucking company is already doing. What your family’s rights actually are while the hours pass. This page exists to answer those questions — not with platitudes, but with the specific law, the specific evidence clocks, and the specific steps that decide whether accountability happens or slips away. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle commercial truck crash cases and…
