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…

Reeves County US 285 Semi Truck Crash and Fire: The Truway Xpress LLC Lawsuit and Your Rights After a West Texas Oilfield Trucking Wreck You were on Highway 285. Or someone you love was. And now you are sitting with a crash report, a phone full of calls from insurance people who sound friendly and are not, and a body that may be telling you things are worse than the first scan suggested. The truck caught fire. You already know that changes everything — you just don’t know yet how much it changes for the legal case, and for the years of medical care that may follow. We are going to tell you. Not in jargon. Not in promises. In the same language we would use across your kitchen table at two in the morning, because that is when most people in your situation are reading this page. On October 15, 2025, two semi trucks collided on US Highway 285 near the SH 302 interchange in Reeves County, Texas. According to the Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report, the driver of one semi — an employee of Truway Xpress LLC, an Odessa-based trucking company — failed to yield the right-of-way at…

Odessa, Texas Fatal Tractor-Trailer Crash on FM 866 — What the Law Allows, What the Carrier Must Preserve, and Why the First Days Decide Everything If you are reading this because someone you love was on FM 866 on the morning of January 12, 2026, we want you to hear this first: what happened on that road was not just another accident. A 27-year-old man from Odessa was driving northbound on a Farm-to-Market road he probably drove every day, doing what thousands of people in the Permian Basin do each morning — heading to work in the early dark. A Peterbilt semi-truck traveling southbound crossed the northbound lanes to turn east onto University Boulevard. The truck’s trailer was still in the northbound lanes when the GMC struck it. The driver died at the scene. His passenger is at Medical Center Hospital with serious injuries. The truck driver was not hurt. The weather was clear. Everyone was wearing a seatbelt. And DPS is still investigating. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are writing this for one person: the family member who is sitting at a kitchen table in Odessa right now, trying to understand what just happened…

Fatal E-Bike Collision with Tractor-Trailer on Business 20 in Midland, Texas — What the Family Needs to Know If you are reading this because someone you love was killed on Business 20 on February 6, 2026 — a woman riding an e-bike, struck from behind by a commercial truck with a towed trailer near County Road 1103 — you are in the worst hours of your life, and you are probably being told to wait.

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…

The Crash on SH 302: What Happened and What Your Family Needs to Know Right Now Someone you love is gone. A truck turned across her path on SH 302 near Yukon Avenue in Odessa, and the road she had every right to be on became the place her life ended. You are reading this because you need to know what happens now — what Texas law allows your family to recover, what the trucking company is already doing to protect itself, and why the evidence that proves what really happened is disappearing on a clock that started the moment of impact. Here is the first thing you need to hear: this crash was not her fault. Texas Highway Patrol has already reported that the semi-truck driver failed to yield the right of way. The truck was turning left across her lane of travel. She was driving eastbound on a state highway, doing exactly what she was supposed to do. The failure was not hers. Here is the second thing: time is the enemy. The truck that killed her carries a black box, electronic driver logs, and possibly dashcam footage — and federal law only makes the trucking company keep…

Fatal Semi-Truck Collision on SH-302 in Odessa — What Every Family Needs to Know If you are reading this because someone you love was killed on State Highway 302 on the evening of May 28, you are in the hardest hours a family ever faces — and you are being timed by a clock you cannot see. The trucking company’s insurance adjuster has already opened a file. The carrier has people at the scene, or people on the way, whose job is to protect the company — not your family. The evidence that will decide your case is already beginning to disappear. And the law gives you a window to act that is far shorter than most people realize, not because the deadline to sue is short, but because the proof dies faster than the deadline. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle commercial trucking wrongful death cases in Texas. We are writing this for one reason: so that whatever happens next, you walk into it knowing exactly what your rights are, what the trucking company is already doing, and what the evidence looks like before it is gone.
