One Killed in Vega Two-Vehicle Crash on US 385 at I-40

Vega, Texas (April 7, 2021) – One person was killed, and another was injured Tuesday morning in a two-vehicle crash, less than one mile south of Vega, according to the Texas DPS.

The fatal crash happened on April 6, on US 385 at I-40.

DPS said a Peterbilt Truck Tractor towing a trailer was traveling northbound on US 385 while a Subaru was traveling westbound on the I-40 access road.

The Subaru failed to yield right of way at the stop sign and pulled in front of the Peterbilt, resulting in a collision.

The Subaru driver was pronounced dead at the scene. 

A passenger in the Subaru was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Peterbilt driver was uninjured in the crash.

The troopers are investigating the crash.

 “When a person has suffered a grave personal injury in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, the most overwhelming emotion they feel is a sense of injustice. They often ask how such a life-altering event could have happened to them,” attorney Joel A. Gordon said. “The next question usually is, who can help me?” Mr. Gordon added.

A legal advocate can represent an injury victim or the family of a deceased victim. The attorney will file a claim on behalf of the victim and will have the responsibility of citing existing codes, laws, or statutes which were violated.
