The fatal crash happened around 5:15 p.m., January 12, on State Highway 349.

DPS said Harvey Loya of Odessa was driving a semi-truck exiting a private drive when he failed to yield the right of way and collided with a Nissan Altima driven by John R. Lunn of Mendenhall, Mississippi.

Lunn was pronounced dead at the scene.

Loya was uninjured in the crash.

The DPS is investigating the crash.

Commercial trucks are known to cause over 90% of accidents in Houston. These truck drivers must understand that their actions majorly contribute to most of the accidents on the roads. It is also important for others on the same roads with the truck drivers to understand that maximum precaution should be taken while driving near trucks. While small mistakes like ignoring the turn signal prior to turning may cause accidents, major causes of these accidents are rooted in other factors like exhaustion on the part of truck drivers. If the reasons for the crash are anchored to the failure of following the right turn or driving at a speed that is not legally recommended, a wrongful death lawyer will be useful in such scenarios. 

If you have lost a loved one in an accident with a huge truck, it is advisable to get a lawyer who will facilitate the process of compensation.
