Pickup Driver Killed in US 287 Tractor-Trailer Crash Near Amarillo A pickup driver was killed in a crash involving a tractor-trailer on U.S. 287 near FM 1912 outside Amarillo on Thursday, September 10, 2026. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, a red 2024 Ford F-150 struck the trailer of a tractor-trailer. The pickup driver, Ryan Lane Simpson, died at the scene from his injuries. Tractor-Trailer Was Turning Onto US 287 Before Fatal Crash DPS reported that the tractor-trailer was turning onto U.S. 287 when the Ford F-150 struck the trailer. Part of U.S. 287 was shut down after the collision, and traffic was temporarily detoured to I-40 while emergency crews and investigators worked at the scene. The Texas Highway Patrol continues to investigate the wreck. Early information does not establish the exact movements of either vehicle, the pickup's speed, whether visibility was a factor, or how much time Simpson had to react before the collision. Why Trailer-Impact Crashes Require Careful Investigation A crash in which a passenger vehicle strikes the side or rear portion of a tractor-trailer can raise important visibility and timing questions. Investigators may need to determine when the truck entered the highway, how much of the trailer was blocking the travel lanes, whether the trailer's lights and reflective materials were visible, and whether approaching motorists had enough time and distance to perceive and avoid the truck. The fact that the pickup struck the trailer does not, by itself, establish who was legally responsible for the crash. Evidence After a Fatal US 287 Truck Wreck Potentially important evidence may include: Electronic control module data from the tractor Electronic logging-device records Onboard truck camera footage GPS and telematics information Turn-signal, lighting, and reflective-equipment evidence Driver logs and dispatch records Pickup event-data recorder information Dashcam or surveillance video Witness statements Crash-scene measurements and photographs Vehicle damage patterns and final resting positions The Wooley Law Firm represents people injured in Texas 18-wheeler and commercial truck accidents, including serious and fatal collisions on highways throughout Texas.
