U.S. 290 Fatal Semi Crash

3 killed in crash with semi on U.S. 290

Three people were killed Tuesday morning in a collision on U.S. 290 at the intersection with Roy Davis Road, just east of Elgin, authorities said.

According to a preliminary investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety, a Chevy Tahoe carrying three people crashed into a semi that was trying to turn onto Roy Davis around 6:20 a.m.

The Tahoe’s driver and two occupants were killed. Authorities said the semi failed to yield as it was making a wide left turn.

Both vehicles were traveling east but the crash forced authorities to close the westbound lanes of U.S. 290 for about five hours as emergency crews cleared the wreck and investigators worked at the scene.

What Our Clients Say

This is a long review of our experience but the summary is: Andrew is by far the best Austin personal injury lawyer there is and we couldn't have found a better fit to represent us in our case! Andrew Traub represented us when we were hit at a school while dropping off our kids. My wife was ran over and ended up with severe leg scarring, I injured my jaw, and my son had severe emotional trauma. We spent months interviewing attorneys and decided Andrew Traub was the best injury attorney in Texas for our case. My wife's portion of the case wasn't hard to get max ($350,000) given her injuries; however, my son's emotional trauma was a VERY complex issue given it's not as easy to establish as physical injury. USAA (her insurance) and State Farm (our insurance) repeatedly denied any compensation to him. Andrew, using his expertise, was eventually able to get the pay max ($350,000) on his claim! My jaw injury was a physical injury but, ironically, USAA kept saying it was from my military service. In the end USAA did pay the policy limit ($100,000) for my jaw injury (our under-insurance had already paid out max). But, what I feel is just as important, is the way Andrew treated us. He was always keeping us in the loop and helping coordinate issues and care. He ensured we knew what to expect and rough estimates on time frames. He helped us set up a structured settlement where our son's money would almost double by the time he receives it. He was more than willing to help with the car damage side of the claim- which we had already don't but it would have been great not having to deal with it (we took our time interviewing attorneys given the complexity of the case).
