Wrongful Death Claim: Three Dead, Including Jose Guadalupe Cepeda, After Head-On Ambulance Crash in Hebbronville

Three fatalities reported in tragic head-on collision involving ambulance in Hebbronville, Texas

HEBBRONVILLE, TX, (November 08, 2023) – Three lives were tragically lost on Wednesday morning in Hebbronville, Texas, following a devastating head-on collision between an ambulance and a pickup truck. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), the crash occurred at approximately 5 a.m. on State Highway 16.

A fatal head-on crash involving an ambulance in Hebbronville left three people dead, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. The ambulance driver and his passenger were among the deceased victims.

The collision unfolded when a 2016 GMC Sierra, traveling west on State Highway 16, veered out of its lane and entered the eastbound lane, colliding head-on with a 2016 Chevrolet Victorious Care Ambulance. Tragically, three individuals lost their lives as a result of the impact.

The passenger in the ambulance, identified as 23-year-old Jose Guadalupe Cepeda from Zapata, was among the fatality victims. The driver of the pickup truck and the ambulance driver were also sadly killed in the wreck.

The DPS has launched an investigation to determine the cause of the accident.

URGENT NEED FOR CRASH INVESTIGATION

Head-on collisions are known to be the most dangerous type of accidents on our roadways. Despite accounting for only 2% of all crashes in the United States, they contribute to over 10% of all crash-related fatalities.

Candice Bond, a highly experienced auto accident attorney, emphasized the importance of an independent probe into the crash by a seasoned lawyer to safeguard the rights of the victim’s family.

“In cases like this, time is of the essence, and it is crucial for the victim’s family to ensure a thorough review of all evidence,” said Bond, the Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“Accident reconstruction specialists may be required to piece together the sequence of events. These resources are essential in helping victims secure monetary compensation for their losses following a collision,” added Bond.

“By acting as an advocate, an attorney can provide compassionate guidance to a grieving family, while also vigorously protecting their legal rights and interests,” concluded Bond.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM POSSIBILITY

Pending the outcome of the investigation, family members of Jose Guadalupe Cepeda may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim. Such claims seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress experienced by the family following a catastrophic accident.

“The aftermath of losing a loved one in an accident can be overwhelming, both emotionally and financially,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal.

“We understand the immense challenges faced by grieving families, and it is crucial for them to have their rights protected. A wrongful death lawyer will closely monitor the official investigation and ensure that the family’s best interests are represented,” added Formica.

A skilled wrongful death attorney is committed to assisting families who have been abruptly impacted by such incidents.
