Amarillo Fuel Tanker Crash Into ABC 7 Building: Your Legal Rights After a Hit-and-Run DWI Collision Destroyed a Steel Support Beam If you are reading this at 2 a.m. from a phone in Amarillo — whether you are the building owner staring at a compromised steel beam and a chain-link fence folded into scrap, the fuel tanker driver who was sitting in a cab that got shoved through a security fence and into a television station, or a family member who got the call that someone you love was hurt in the overnight crash that shook the northwest corner of the ABC 7 studios — you are in the right place. We built this page for you. Not for traffic. For you. Here is what we know: a 19-year-old pickup driver struck a fuel tanker in a hit-and-run collision in Amarillo, sending the tanker crashing into the ABC 7 (KVII) television station building.

Lucas, Collin County, Texas Fatal Big Rig Crash at FM 1378 — What the Family Needs to Know Right Now You are reading this because someone you love is not coming home. A 55-year-old woman died at the intersection of Osage Lane and Farm-to-Market Road 1378 near Lucas, Texas, when her 2020 Chevrolet Spark collided with a northbound big rig. The Texas Department of Public Safety has issued a preliminary finding that her vehicle did not stop at the intersection’s stop sign. The truck driver was not injured. The crash remains under investigation. We are going to tell you the truth about what that preliminary finding means — and what it does not mean — because the difference between those two things may be the difference between your family receiving justice and receiving nothing. We are Attorney911, The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle commercial truck accident and wrongful death cases in Texas.

Navasota 18-Wheeler Crash on Highway 6: Legal Rights, Evidence, and the 4.5-Hour Gap That Demands Investigation Your son, your brother, your husband, your father — a 33-year-old man from Amarillo who drove trucks for a living — died alone in the dark on Highway 6 south of Navasota, and nobody found him for four and a half hours. That sentence is the hardest thing you have ever read, and we are sorry that you are reading it. But we need you to keep reading, because those four and a half hours are not just a tragedy. They are evidence. They are a question that the trucking company may not be able to answer, and the answer may be the difference between a closed file and a case. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle commercial trucking wrongful death cases in Texas. Ralph Manginello has spent 27-plus years in courtrooms, including federal court, and before he was a lawyer he was a journalist, which means he learned to find the story the facts actually tell, not the story someone wants told.

San Antonio I-35 Fatal 18-Wheeler Shoulder Crash: What Happened and What Your Family Can Do If you are reading this, someone you love was killed on Interstate 35 on the south side of San Antonio, near Southcross and Division, after their vehicle collided with an 18-wheeler that was stopped on the shoulder. You may have been told — or you may already feel — that the crash was your loved one’s fault because they hit a parked truck. We need you to hear something before you read another word: a commercial truck stopped on a highway shoulder is not simply “parked.” It is a hazard, and federal law imposes specific, mandatory duties on the truck driver and the trucking company the moment that vehicle stops — duties that, if violated, shift the legal responsibility for this death onto the carrier. Whether those duties were followed is the single question that determines whether your family has a case. And the evidence that answers that question is disappearing right now, while you grieve. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle commercial-truck wrongful-death cases in Texas. Ralph Manginello has spent 27-plus years in courtrooms, including federal court.

Itasca, Hill County, Texas Train Collision — Union Pacific Freight Train Hits FedEx Truck at the SH 81 & FM 67 Crossing: One Killed, One Critical, and What Texas Law Gives Your Family Now The phone call comes on a Thursday afternoon, or maybe it does not come at all and you are sitting in a hospital corridor staring at a screen that says critical condition, not knowing what the next hour holds. Maybe you are at home in Dallas, and the call was about someone you love who was supposed to be home by now — a 25-year-old riding in a FedEx truck on a route through Hill County, crossing the tracks at State Highway 81 and FM Road 67 in Itasca, when a Union Pacific freight train slammed into the truck and pushed it down the rails.

When a Train Strikes a FedEx Truck in Hill County — Your Family’s Rights and What Happens Next A FedEx manager called your mother. That is how your family found out. A voice on the phone saying your son, your brother, had been in an accident while doing his job — the delivery work he was proud of, the job he was about to mark one year at in October. By the time someone got an officer on the line, the answer was already the worst thing a family hears. He did not make it. Then silence. FedEx released a statement to reporters. Union Pacific released a statement to reporters. Neither one called your family. Days passed. The GoFundMe for his funeral sat at a fraction of what burial actually costs. And you found yourself sitting at a kitchen table in Oak Cliff, realizing that the two companies whose vehicles met at a grade crossing near FM 67 and Highway 81 in Hill County — neither one was coming to you with answers. That silence is not an accident. It is a strategy. While your family grieves, the risk-management teams at both corporations have already been working for days —…

Texas Hours-of-Service Truck Accidents: What the Federal Fatigue Rules Mean for Your Case If you are reading this page, there is a real chance that a commercial truck hit you or someone you love on a Texas highway, and you have a feeling — maybe more than a feeling — that the driver should not have been behind the wheel at that moment. Maybe the truck drifted across a lane line on I-35 at 3 a.m. Maybe an 18-wheeler did not brake in time on I-10 and the impact turned a routine drive into a hospital stay, or something worse. You are searching for something specific: whether the federal rules that govern how long a truck driver can stay on the road — the Hours-of-Service regulations — actually matter for your case. They do. They matter more than most people realize, and more than the trucking company wants you to realize. Here is the first thing you need to know: the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration created the Hours-of-Service rules for one reason — to keep exhausted drivers off the road. When a driver violates those rules and someone gets hurt, the violation is not a paperwork error. It is…

Semi Truck Fire on FM 1788 in Midland, Texas: Permian Basin Commercial Vehicle Fire Risks and Your Legal Rights You were on South FM 1788 that Saturday afternoon, or you know someone who was. You saw the smoke from the semi truck fire, or you heard about it after. The Midland Fire Department responded, and they reported no injuries — and maybe that brought you some relief. But maybe it did not, because you have been feeling something since then that you cannot quite explain: a tightness in your chest, a burn in your throat, a headache that will not leave, or a cough that started the next morning. Or maybe you are a driver who has been through something like this yourself, and you are trying to understand what the law says about commercial vehicle fires in the Permian Basin and what your rights are if the truck you were driving or riding near caught fire because someone else did not maintain it. We are going to tell you everything we know about this. Not a sales pitch — the actual law, the actual federal regulations that govern these trucks, the actual evidence that disappears if nobody moves to…

Midland, Texas Semi Truck Fire Claims: What Happens When an 18-Wheeler Burns on a Permian Basin Farm-to-Market Road You are reading this because a semi truck caught fire on South FM 1788 in Midland on a Saturday afternoon in late July, and something about that event touched your life. Maybe you were driving past when the smoke rolled across the roadway. Maybe you were working at a nearby facility and breathed what was burning. Maybe your vehicle or property was damaged by the heat, the smoke, or the fire-suppression runoff. Maybe you are a family member who got a phone call and is now sitting at a kitchen table at 2 a.m., wondering whether the person you love is truly okay — because the report said “no injuries,” and you are not sure you believe it. We are going to tell you the truth about what that phrase means and what it does not mean. We are going to explain what causes commercial trucks to burn on Permian Basin roads, what the law requires carriers to do about it, who bears liability when a truck fire causes harm, and what the evidence clock looks like — because the evidence in…

Midland Semi Truck Fire on FM 1788: What You Need to Know About Commercial Truck Fire Liability in the Permian Basin You saw the smoke on South FM 1788 Saturday afternoon — a semi truck burning on a two-lane road you drive every week, near the Permian Basin Behavioral Health Center, close enough that the question ran through your mind before the road closed: was anyone inside, and what was in that trailer? Midland Fire Department blocked the roadway and put the fire out fast. No injuries were reported, and no other vehicles were involved. That word — “reported” — is doing more work than it looks like. It means the initial fire department run did not document an injury at the scene. It does not mean no one was hurt. It does not mean the driver walked away without smoke inhalation that showed up the next morning. It does not mean a passing motorist did not inhale chemical smoke from whatever was in that cargo area, or that someone who was stopped in the road closure did not develop symptoms hours later. We are writing this page for the person who was there — and for the person who…
