23-Year-Old Joshuia Hill Killed in Cass County Three-Vehicle Crash on Highway 77

Cass County, Texas (May 9, 2020) – A man was killed Friday morning in a three-vehicle crash in Cass County, according to DPS.

The fatal crash occurred just before 6:00 a.m. May 8, on State Highway 77.

DPS said a 1997 Ford F-150, driven by Joshuia Hill, 23, of Naples, was heading westbound on the highway behind a 2011 Ford F-150. A 2017 Ford F-150 was traveling eastbound on the highway, and it stopped after it hydroplaned. 

The driver of the 2011 Ford slowed to avoid hitting the 2017 Ford and Hill failed to control his speed, hit the side of the 2017 Ford, left the roadway and hit a tree.

Hill was pronounced dead at the scene.

The other two drivers were uninjured in the crash.

Investigators said it was raining heavily at the time of the crash, and the rain might have been a factor in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.

We pass our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Joshuia Hill.

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.
