Harris County, Texas (April 18, 2020) – A 1-year-old girl was killed, and her father was injured Friday night in a hit-and-run crash in northeast Harris County, according to authorities.

The fatal crash happened shortly after 11:00 p.m. April 17, in the 4700 block of Aldine Mail Route Road.

Deputies said a man was driving a Nissan Altima westbound on the roadway when a red Toyota Tacoma that was traveling in the opposite direction lost control, hit a curb and crashed into the Nissan.

The Nissan driver, 55-year-old Marvin, and her 1-year-old daughter, Amiyah Buck, who was in the front passenger seat of the Nissan, were taken to the hospital where Amiyah later died.

Amiyah was not in a car seat but was strapped in a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

The driver of the Toyota, Sergio Milla Iglesias, 35, fled the scene after the crash but was later tracked down and arrested. 

The crash remains under investigation.

We pass our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Amiyah Buck.

Who May Make a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

A wrongful death claim for a family member may be brought by spouses, children or parents. The State of Texas also allows the estate of the deceased to bring a survival action to recover for past medical expenses and conscious pain and suffering, as well as other non-economic damages which the deceased may have suffered before death. Texas does not permit brothers, sisters, cousins, or grandparents to assert any claims for the death of a family member.

Wrongful death claims require an attorney who understands the complexity of the damages caused by a significant loss. The lawyer representing the client has the responsibility to hire the necessary experts to help prove the case.
