A family is demanding answers after an inmate at the Tarrant County Jail suffered a serious brain bleed and was placed on life support, according to WFAA. The report comes as Tarrant County officials continue to face questions about jail conditions, inmate safety, and deaths in custody. KERA reported that the inmate, identified as 46-year-old Mack Greer, was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital after suffering internal bleeding in his brain. His family said they received a call from the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office early Wednesday morning but were not given clear details about what happened before he was hospitalized. According to KERA, Greer’s family said they were told he had asked for a blanket and was later found slumped over and unresponsive. When someone enters a jail or detention facility, that person is completely dependent on the facility for safety, medical care, monitoring, and emergency response. Serious jail injuries can raise major legal questions, including whether staff properly checked on the inmate, whether medical symptoms were recognized, whether emergency care was delayed, whether mental health needs were handled appropriately, and whether the facility followed required policies and procedures. Brain bleeds, head trauma, unexplained injuries, and medical emergencies in custody should be investigated carefully. Families deserve answers about what happened, when jail staff first noticed a problem, whether video footage exists, whether medical personnel were contacted in time, and whether any warning signs were ignored. Important evidence may include jail surveillance video, medical records, incident reports, cell check logs, officer statements, intake records, body camera footage, and communications between jail staff and medical providers. Civil rights and jail injury cases are different from ordinary personal injury claims. These cases may involve constitutional rights, jail medical care, failure to protect, deliberate indifference, negligent supervision, and wrongful death issues if the inmate does not survive. Because government entities and jail officials may be involved, strict deadlines and special notice requirements can apply. Families should not have to accept vague explanations when a loved one suffers a catastrophic injury in custody. A person does not lose the right to basic safety and medical care simply because they are in jail. When serious harm occurs behind locked doors, accountability depends on uncovering the full truth. Wooley Law Firm represents families and victims in serious injury, wrongful death, and accountability cases across Dallas-Fort Worth and throughout Texas. Our firm investigates what happened, works to preserve key evidence, and fights for families seeking justice after preventable harm. If your loved one suffered a brain injury, serious medical emergency, unexplained trauma, or death while in a Texas jail or detention facility, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of companionship, funeral expenses, and other damages.

A driver was killed in a fatal crash involving a vehicle trapped under a truck along U.S. 287 in Fort Worth, according to WFAA and Dallas Morning News traffic reporting. Fort Worth police said the driver was found trapped in a vehicle stuck under a truck, and the department’s Traffic Investigation Unit is investigating the crash. The full circumstances leading up to the wreck have not yet been publicly released. Investigators will likely need to determine how the vehicle became trapped under the truck, whether the truck was stopped or moving, whether visibility or traffic conditions played a role, and whether any driver failed to control speed, keep a proper lookout, or maintain a safe following distance. Why This Matters Crashes where a passenger vehicle becomes lodged under a truck are often catastrophic. Large trucks and commercial vehicles can create underride hazards when a smaller vehicle slides beneath the rear or side of the truck. These wrecks can cause fatal injuries because the passenger compartment may absorb the force of impact. A fatal Fort Worth truck crash should be investigated carefully and quickly. Important evidence may include the police crash report, witness statements, dash camera video, nearby surveillance footage, truck inspection records, vehicle damage, braking evidence, electronic control module data, driver logs, maintenance history, lighting and reflector records, and any available roadway camera footage. If a commercial vehicle was involved, the case may involve more than one responsible party. Depending on the facts, potential responsibility may extend to a truck driver, trucking company, vehicle owner, maintenance provider, trailer owner, or another company responsible for the vehicle’s safe operation and equipment. Families who lose a loved one in a fatal truck crash deserve clear answers. Insurance companies and trucking companies may begin investigating immediately after a deadly wreck, which makes early evidence preservation critical. Video footage can be overwritten, vehicles can be repaired or destroyed, and witnesses can become harder to locate. Under Texas law, surviving family members may have the right to bring a wrongful death claim if negligence caused or contributed to the fatal crash. Compensation may include funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, mental anguish, pain and suffering, and other damages available under Texas law. Wooley Law Firm represents families after fatal truck crashes, commercial vehicle collisions, underride accidents, freeway wrecks, and wrongful death cases across Fort Worth, Dallas-Fort Worth, and throughout Texas. Our firm investigates what happened, preserves critical evidence, identifies responsible parties, and fights for families seeking justice after preventable tragedies. How Wooley Law Can Help If your loved one was killed in a Fort Worth truck accident, U.S. 287 crash, underride collision, commercial vehicle wreck, or fatal Texas highway accident, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, mental anguish, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Nine people were taken to hospitals after a major multi-vehicle pileup on Interstate 20 in Kaufman County, according to NBCDFW. Authorities said the chain-reaction crash happened Saturday on westbound I-20 and involved multiple passenger vehicles and several 18-wheelers. The Elmo Fire Department reported that firefighters were first dispatched around 10:50 a.m. to a minor crash near the westbound 509 and 510 mile markers. Minutes later, crews were called to a much larger crash near mile marker 511. Officials said 13 passenger vehicles and four 18-wheelers were involved, 24 patients were evaluated at the scene, and nine people were transported to area hospitals with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening. The Texas Department of Public Safety later reported that a minor crash caused traffic to stop on westbound I-20. DPS said several drivers were traveling at unsafe speeds in rainy conditions and left the roadway while trying to avoid stopped traffic. According to investigators, a truck-tractor semi-trailer failed to control its speed and hit the rear of several stopped vehicles, triggering a chain reaction involving numerous other vehicles. DPS estimated that approximately 20 vehicles may have been involved. Multi-vehicle pileups on Texas highways can be legally and factually complex. When passenger vehicles and 18-wheelers are involved, investigators must determine who caused the initial hazard, who failed to slow down, whether any driver was following too closely, whether commercial drivers adjusted for wet road conditions, and whether trucking companies followed safety rules. Rainy weather does not excuse unsafe driving. Drivers, especially commercial truck drivers, must control their speed and keep enough distance to stop safely. Why This Matters A serious I-20 pileup may require a detailed investigation into crash reports, witness statements, dash camera footage, black box data, truck driver logs, braking data, cargo records, maintenance history, cell phone records, and roadway conditions. In a chain-reaction crash, more than one driver or company may share responsibility for the injuries caused. Victims injured in a multi-vehicle wreck may face medical bills, missed work, pain, vehicle damage, and insurance disputes involving several different companies. Insurance carriers may try to shift blame from one driver to another, making it important to identify all responsible parties and preserve evidence quickly.

The crash happened between Bynum and Malone, along the highway corridor between Dallas-Fort Worth and Waco.

Two adults and two children in the van were killed, another child survived, and both people in the Nissan also died. This is an unimaginable tragedy for the families and communities affected. When a crash takes the lives of children and adults, the investigation must be handled with compassion and care, but it must also be aggressive. Families deserve answers about why this happened and whether the wreck could have been prevented. Why This Matters Fatal head-on crashes often raise serious questions about unsafe passing, speed, visibility, distraction, driver judgment, roadway conditions, and failure to keep others safe. Critical evidence may include the DPS crash report, witness statements, roadway markings, vehicle damage, event data recorder information, cell phone records, toxicology results, dash camera footage, and crash reconstruction findings.

Six people were killed in a devastating two-vehicle crash on State Highway 171 in Hill County, according to the Dallas Morning News and other reports. The deadly wreck happened Saturday, June 20, 2026, between Bynum and Malone. Authorities reported that a northbound vehicle attempted to pass another car before colliding head-on with a van. Both vehicles caught fire after the impact. Two adults and two children in the van were killed, along with two occupants of the other vehicle. Another child from the van was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening. This crash is a heartbreaking reminder of how dangerous unsafe passing can be on Texas highways. Passing on a two-lane road requires enough distance, visibility, judgment, and time to return safely to the correct lane. When a driver attempts to pass without enough room or misjudges oncoming traffic, the result can be a violent head-on collision with catastrophic injuries or multiple deaths. Why This Matters Fatal head-on crashes often require a detailed investigation. Key evidence may include the official DPS crash report, witness statements, skid marks, roadway markings, vehicle damage, event data recorder information, toxicology results, cell phone records, and any available dash camera or surveillance footage. Investigators may also examine whether speed, distraction, impairment, road design, visibility, or failure to yield played a role. For families who lose loved ones in a fatal Texas crash, the grief can be overwhelming. When children are killed, the loss is even more devastating. Surviving family members may be left with funeral expenses, medical bills, lost financial support, mental anguish, and a lifetime of unanswered questions. Texas wrongful death law may allow surviving family members to pursue justice when another driver’s negligence causes a fatal crash. In a case involving unsafe passing or a head-on collision, legal accountability may focus on whether a driver made a dangerous decision that put innocent people directly in harm’s way.

A 15-year-old boy was killed in a crash involving a motorcycle and an 18-wheeler in Euless, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as Levi James Mott. The crash happened around 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the 700 block of North Industrial Boulevard. Euless police and fire crews responded to the scene, and the teenager was pronounced dead at the crash site. Police said the investigation remains ongoing, and further details about what led to the crash have not yet been released. A fatal crash involving a motorcycle and an 18-wheeler should be investigated carefully. Motorcyclists are extremely vulnerable in collisions with large commercial vehicles because they have little protection from the size, weight, and force of impact. When the victim is a child or teenager, the tragedy is even more devastating for the family and community. Key questions may include whether the 18-wheeler driver saw the motorcycle, whether the truck was turning, merging, backing, changing lanes, or entering traffic, whether the truck driver kept a proper lookout, whether speed or distraction played a role, and whether the trucking company followed required safety rules. Investigators may also need to review truck inspection records, driver logs, dash camera footage, nearby surveillance video, black box data, cell phone records, witness statements, roadway conditions, and the official crash report. Texas 18-wheeler accident cases are different from ordinary car crash claims. Commercial trucking companies may have insurance carriers, safety departments, investigators, and defense teams working quickly after a fatal wreck. Families should not have to face that process alone, especially when they are grieving the sudden loss of a child. A fatal motorcycle crash can give rise to a wrongful death claim when negligence caused or contributed to the collision. Surviving family members may be able to pursue compensation for funeral expenses, mental anguish, loss of companionship, lost support, pain and suffering, and other damages allowed under Texas law. Wooley Law Firm represents families after fatal motorcycle crashes, 18-wheeler wrecks, commercial vehicle accidents, and wrongful death cases across Dallas-Fort Worth and throughout Texas.

Six people, including two children, were killed in a devastating head-on crash between Dallas-Fort Worth and Waco, according to FOX 4. The crash happened Saturday afternoon, June 20, 2026, on State Highway 171 near Farm-to-Market Road 3155 in Hill County, between Bynum and Malone. The Texas Department of Public Safety reported that a Nissan passenger vehicle was traveling northbound on Highway 171 when the driver attempted to pass another vehicle. According to investigators, the Nissan entered the oncoming lane and struck a Ford van head-on. Both vehicles caught fire after the collision. Two adults and two children inside the Ford van died at the scene. A third child in the van survived and was taken to a hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening. Both people inside the Nissan were also killed. Authorities said the names of the victims were being withheld pending notification of family members, and the investigation remains ongoing. This tragedy shows how quickly an unsafe passing maneuver can turn a rural Texas highway into the scene of a catastrophic crash. Head-on collisions often happen when a driver crosses into opposing traffic, misjudges the time needed to pass, fails to see an oncoming vehicle, speeds, drives distracted, or makes a dangerous decision on a two-lane road. Fatal crashes on rural highways can be especially severe because vehicles may be traveling at higher speeds, emergency response times may be longer, and drivers may have limited room to avoid a collision. When both vehicles catch fire after impact, families may face not only grief, but also complicated questions about crash reconstruction, vehicle damage, identification, and the full cause of the wreck. A crash involving multiple deaths should be investigated carefully. Important evidence may include the DPS crash report, witness statements, roadway markings, skid marks, vehicle damage, event data recorder information, toxicology results, cell phone records, dash camera footage, and any available surveillance video. Investigators may also examine whether speed, distraction, impairment, visibility, road design, or unsafe passing contributed to the collision. For surviving family members, the aftermath of a fatal Texas highway crash can be overwhelming. Funeral expenses, lost income, medical bills, mental anguish, and the loss of companionship can create lasting harm. When children are killed, the devastation is even greater, and families deserve clear answers about what happened and who may be legally responsible. Texas wrongful death law may allow certain surviving family members to seek justice when negligence causes a fatal crash. In a head-on collision involving an attempted pass, the investigation often focuses on whether a driver made an unsafe decision that placed innocent people directly in danger.

Another child in the van was taken to a hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening. Two people in the Nissan also died. Fatal head-on crashes are among the most devastating types of wrecks on Texas roads. When a driver crosses into oncoming traffic, attempts to pass unsafely, speeds, drives distracted, or misjudges the distance needed to pass, the consequences can be catastrophic. These crashes often leave families grieving multiple losses and searching for answers about how the wreck happened and whether it could have been prevented. A deadly crash like this should be carefully investigated. Key evidence may include the DPS crash report, witness statements, vehicle damage, roadway markings, skid marks, event data recorders, phone records, toxicology results, and any available surveillance or dash camera footage. In cases involving multiple fatalities, it is also important to determine whether additional factors such as roadway design, visibility, speed limits, vehicle maintenance, or negligent passing contributed to the collision. For surviving family members, a fatal Texas car accident can create overwhelming emotional and financial harm. Funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, mental anguish, and the pain of losing children or loved ones can change a family forever.

A 15-year-old boy was killed after a crash involving a motorcycle and an 18-wheeler in Euless, according to WFAA. The collision happened around 11:09 a.m. on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the 700 block of North Industrial Boulevard. Authorities identified the teenager as Levi James Mott. Police said he died as a result of the crash. The regional CRASH Investigation Team was called to the scene to assist with the investigation. Officials have not yet released full details about what led to the collision or who was operating the motorcycle or the 18-wheeler. Why This Matters Fatal crashes involving motorcycles and 18-wheelers demand a careful investigation. A motorcycle rider has very little protection in a collision with a large commercial truck, and the size and weight difference between the vehicles can make these wrecks deadly. When the person killed is a teenager, the tragedy is even more devastating for the family and community. Important questions may need to be answered. Did the truck driver keep a proper lookout? Was the 18-wheeler turning, merging, changing lanes, or entering traffic? Was the motorcycle visible to the truck driver? Did speed, distraction, blind spots, road conditions, or failure to yield contribute to the crash? Were trucking safety rules followed? Evidence can disappear quickly after a serious commercial vehicle crash. Investigators may need to review the police crash report, witness statements, dash camera footage, nearby business surveillance video, truck inspection records, driver logs, electronic control module data, phone records, vehicle damage, and roadway evidence. Texas truck accident cases are different from ordinary car accident claims. Trucking companies and their insurance carriers may begin protecting their interests immediately after a fatal wreck. Families should also have someone working quickly to preserve evidence and investigate what really happened. If negligence caused or contributed to the crash, surviving family members may have the right to bring a Texas wrongful death claim. Compensation may include funeral expenses, mental anguish, loss of companionship, lost support, pain and suffering, and other damages available under Texas law.

A 15-year-old was killed in a crash involving a motorcycle and an 18-wheeler in Euless, according to WFAA. The crash happened Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the area of North Industrial Boulevard near Texas 183. Police said the crash involved a motorcycle and a commercial truck. The teenager was pronounced dead, and the crash remains under investigation. Officials have not yet released full details about what caused the collision. Why This Matters Fatal crashes involving motorcycles and 18-wheelers demand a serious investigation. Commercial trucks are large, heavy, and difficult to maneuver, and a collision with a motorcycle often leaves the rider with little chance of surviving. When a teenager is killed, the loss is especially devastating for the family and raises urgent questions about whether the wreck could have been prevented. Investigators may need to determine whether the 18-wheeler driver kept a proper lookout, whether the truck was turning or changing lanes, whether the driver failed to yield, whether speed or distraction played a role, and whether the trucking company followed safety rules. Evidence may include the police crash report, witness statements, dash camera footage, nearby business surveillance video, truck inspection records, black box data, driver logs, phone records, and vehicle damage. Truck accident cases are not the same as ordinary car accident claims. Trucking companies and their insurers may begin investigating immediately after a deadly crash. Families should also act quickly to preserve critical evidence before it disappears or is overwritten. Under Texas law, surviving family members may have the right to bring a wrongful death claim if negligence caused or contributed to a fatal crash.
