Midland, TX (July 26, 2020) – One man lost his life in a two-vehicle collision on Saturday morning in Ector County, according to reports. On July 25, emergency crews responded to the scene of a motor vehicle accident on Interstate 20.

Reports provided by the Texas Department of Public Safety show that 63-year-old Jesus Jose Urias was driving a 2004 Ford pickup truck when his vehicle was struck by a stolen 2017 Ford pickup truck as Urias exited Interstate 20 onto the service road. The driver of the second Ford failed to yield the right of way, causing extensive damages to Urias’s vehicle. Emergency crews arrived at the scene and immediately declared Urias deceased at the scene. A passenger in the pickup truck who was identified as a 51-year-old man was rushed to a hospital in Odessa with incapacitating injuries.

The driver of the second truck, who was identified as 24-year-old Guadalupe Resendez, was transported to a hospital in Odessa and subsequently arrested for his actions surrounding this collision. At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the victims injured in this accident.

Fatal Car Accidents in Texas

Midland, TX – Jesus Jose Urias Killed in Car Accident on I-20Every two minutes, someone is injured in a car accident somewhere in our state. These accidents add up to more than 270,000 people injured annually as a result of traffic-related incidents. Although we hope that everyone involved in unexpected collisions is able to recover from their injuries, this is not always the case. In fact, thousands of people die as a result of crashes caused by negligent and reckless drivers throughout the state.

On average, ten people are killed in motor vehicle accidents across the state of Texas daily. These accidents add up to more than 3,600 lives lost during each year. These preventable accidents continue to cause overwhelming mental and emotional suffering for families who are forced to endure the consequences of losing loved ones unexpectedly. Not only are families forced to experience overwhelming mental and emotional pain and suffering after an unexpected loss, but they are often forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on funerals while dealing with lost earnings and other financial burdens. Although it can seem as if no amount of compensation will ever make us whole again after losing loved ones in accidents that are completely avoidable, families can work with wrongful death attorneys in Texas to obtain the compensation they need to cover the financial burdens they face moving forward.
