An 81-Year-Old Lost Their Life in an Odessa Semi Truck Crash — What Your Family Needs to Know Now If you are reading this because someone you love — a parent, a grandparent, an 81-year-old who meant everything to your family — was killed in a crash with a semi truck in or near Odessa, we want you to hear something first, before anything else: their age does not make their life worth less. The insurance company is already counting on you believing that it does. That is the first fight, and it starts the day you call. You are standing in one of the most dangerous stretches of road in the United States for exactly this kind of crash. Odessa sits in the heart of the Permian Basin — one of the most active oil and gas production regions in the country — and its roads carry a volume of commercial truck traffic they were never engineered to handle. Water haulers, frac sand trucks, equipment transports, and conventional freight tractor-trailers share Interstate 20, US Highway 385, State Highway 191, and Loop 338 with civilian drivers every hour of every day. When an 80,000-pound rig and a 4,000-pound passenger vehicle…

Sierra Blanca I-10 Pedestrian Truck Accident: When a Border Patrol Agent Meets an 18-Wheeler on Foot If you are reading this because someone you love was struck by a commercial truck while on foot on an interstate highway — whether a law enforcement officer in pursuit, a worker pulled to the shoulder, or a person stranded in a travel lane — you are already past the worst night of your life and into the days that follow, when the hospital calls and the adjuster calls and you cannot tell which voice is the dangerous one. Take a breath. What follows is the truth about what happened, what the law actually does for someone hit by an 80,000-pound truck while doing their job on a Texas interstate, and what evidence is already disappearing while you read this. In September 2019, a U.S. Border Patrol agent with eight years of service was conducting a foot pursuit along Interstate 10 near Sierra Blanca, in Hudspeth County, Texas, after a stolen vehicle was identified at the permanent Border Patrol checkpoint. The stolen vehicle fled, was pursued for roughly four miles, and the driver lost control and attempted to escape on foot. During that foot…

Muleshoe School Bus vs. Semi-Truck Crash: Your Child’s Legal Rights in Bailey County, Texas If your child was on that Muleshoe ISD school bus on June 11, 2019 — one of the nine elementary students heading home from summer school when the semi-truck tried to pass the bus as it turned — you are living inside a moment no parent is prepared for. The ER visit is over or winding down. Eight children were treated at Muleshoe Area Medical Center and sent home with what DPS called “non-incapacitating” injuries. One child was sent 80 miles southeast to University Medical Center in Lubbock for treatment the local hospital could not provide. The truck driver is hospitalized with incapacitating injuries. DPS is investigating. And you are standing in your kitchen at 2 a.m., watching your child sleep, wondering whether the headache they complained about tonight is normal or the first sign of something the ER missed. We are the trial team at Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle commercial truck crash cases across Texas, and we are writing this page for the families of Muleshoe and Bailey County because the legal and medical reality of what happened on TX-214…

Midland, Texas Car Chase Crash: An 18-Year-Old Is Gone and Four Young People Are Fighting for Their Lives If you are reading this, someone you love was in that vehicle. Maybe you are James Baker’s parent, and the call came sometime between dinner and dawn. Maybe you are sitting in a hospital corridor in Midland or Odessa, waiting on a surgeon to come out and tell you whether your son or daughter will walk again, or speak again, or open their eyes. Maybe you are the mentor — the one who watched a boy grow into a young man over six years of comic books and superhero movies, and who now has to explain to people what “kindest soul I’ve ever met” actually meant when the person it described is gone. We are writing this for you. Not for a search engine, not for a brochure — for the person at the kitchen table at 2 AM who just found out that Texas gives them two years to file a lawsuit but gives the evidence about seventy-two hours to disappear. This page is the work of our trial team at Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle wrongful…

Dumas, Moore County, Texas: When a Truck’s Unsecured Cargo Turns a Survivable Crash Into Five Deaths If you are reading this because someone you love was in that car on the Panhandle highway near Dumas — or because you survived it and are trying to understand what happened to the five people who did not — we want you to hear something first, before any law, any number, any strategy. The fact that the car ran a stop sign does not end the question of who is responsible for five deaths. It is the beginning of the question, not the answer. And the reason is sitting in plain sight in the public record: the truck’s cargo came off the trailer and landed on top of the car. That fact — one sentence in the investigators’ account — is what separates this from an ordinary right-of-way crash and turns it into a case where a trucking company may have to answer for turning a serious collision into a fatal one. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle 18-wheeler accident cases and wrongful death claims across Texas, and we have built this page because families in Moore County…

The Wrong-Way Crash on SH 302: Two Young Lives Lost in the Permian Basin Darkness If you are reading this because someone you love was in that Hyundai Elantra on State Highway 302 in the minutes before dawn on December 7, 2025, we want you to know three things before anything else. First, what happened to Sebastian Trevino and Juan Guerrero was not an accident in the sense that most people use that word — a wrong-way driver traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes of a rural state highway at 4:45 in the morning is a decision someone made, and the law treats it that way. Second, evidence that will decide this case is disappearing right now — skid marks are fading, surveillance footage is recording over itself, and the vehicles themselves may be sitting in a tow yard where they can be salvaged or crushed within weeks. Third, the DPS investigation that is underway is not your investigation — it answers a criminal question, not the civil question of what your family is owed, and the two are not the same thing. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that takes Texas…

Pecos Train Derailment: Two Union Pacific Workers Killed, Three Injured — Your Legal Rights Under FELA and Texas Law If you are reading this because someone you love went to work for Union Pacific on December 18, 2024, and did not come home, we need you to understand something before anything else: the law that protects your family is not the same law that protects everyone else. It is stronger. It is older. And it was written precisely for this moment — for the families of railroad workers killed because someone else’s negligence, even partly, sent a train off its tracks in a small West Texas town. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases in Texas, and we are writing this page for the families of the two Union Pacific employees killed in the Pecos derailment, for the three people injured inside the Chamber of Commerce building when the train came through it, and for anyone in Reeves County searching for answers about who is responsible and what can be done.

Fatal Semi-Truck Collision on SH-302 in Odessa, Texas: Your Family’s Legal Rights After a Commercial Trucking Wrongful Death If you are reading this, someone you love did not come home from the drive on SH-302. Maybe you got the call from a state trooper, or from a family member who heard it on the scanner, or from a hospital that could only confirm the worst. Maybe you are sitting at a kitchen table in San Angelo, 90 miles from where it happened, trying to understand how a Thursday evening drive turned into a death certificate. You are in the hardest hours a family goes through, and the last thing you should have to think about is evidence and insurance and legal deadlines — and yet those are the very things that decide whether the people responsible for this are ever held to account. Here is the first thing that matters: the Texas Department of Public Safety has already said, in its preliminary investigation, what happened on the night of May 28. A 2004 Peterbilt 379 semi-truck was heading west on SH-302, toward the intersection with Yukon Road. It turned left. It did not yield. And a 2024 Kia Sportage driving…
