Head‑On and High‑Impact: $1.55 Million Settlement Secured*

It was an ordinary drive along a two‑lane road—until, in a split second, everything changed.

An SUV was traveling east on Titus Road when a pickup truck coming from the opposite direction suddenly crossed the center line. The driver of the truck was speeding and attempting to pass another vehicle in a clearly marked no‑passing zone. With no time to react, the SUV was struck head‑on, turning a normal day into a violent and life‑altering collision.

That reckless decision led to serious injuries—and ultimately to a $1,550,000 settlement secured by Beasley Allen attorney Mike Crow.

Reckless Passing & Vehicle Ownership

The crash happened on October 21, 2024, when a pickup truck driver attempted to pass another vehicle in a no‑passing zone. By crossing into oncoming traffic at an unsafe speed, the driver struck an eastbound SUV head‑on—one of the most dangerous types of crashes. Investigators later confirmed the pickup was traveling above the speed limit, increasing the force of the impact and the severity of the injuries.

The pickup truck was owned by someone other than the driver, which became an important part of the case. In serious injury crashes, both driver behavior and vehicle ownership can affect who is responsible and what insurance coverage applies.

At the time of the crash, the injured driver was covered by a USAA insurance policy. Beasley Allen’s team carefully reviewed what happened and identified all available insurance coverage. Through thorough preparation and strong advocacy, attorney Mike Crow helped provide meaningful financial support for the injuries and losses caused by the crash.

Why No‑Passing Zones Matter

No‑passing zones are marked in areas where visibility is limited, or road conditions make passing especially dangerous. Ignoring these rules puts everyone on the road at risk.

When a driver passes illegally:

• Oncoming drivers have little to no time to react
• Head‑on collisions become far more likely
• Injuries are often severe or life‑changing

This case is a powerful reminder that traffic laws exist to protect lives—and that violating them can carry serious consequences.
