Martin County, Texas (March 17, 2020) – A 25-year-old Louisiana man was killed in a two-vehicle crash on Monday in Martin County, according to the DPS.

The fatal crash happened on Monday, March 16, on FM 3033 at SH 176.

DPS said the man was driving a Ford F-150 eastbound on SH 176 while a semi-truck that had been traveling northbound on FM 3033 was stopped at the intersection.

The semi-truck then crossed onto SH 176, and the Ford struck the trailer being towed by the truck.

The driver of the Ford was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not wearing a seat belt.

The driver of the semi-truck was uninjured in the crash.

It was foggy, and the roads were wet at the time of the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.

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

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.
