Parmer, TX - Friona Woman Killed in Head-On Crash with Semi at US-60 & CR 17

Parmer, TX (December 14, 2023) - On Monday, December 11, a Friona woman died following a head-on collision involving a semi-truck in the Parmer area. The deadly accident took place near the crossing of US-60 and County Road 17 at around 6:50 a.m. Local reports indicated that a 26-year-old Clovis man was operating a 1999 Peterbilt truck tractor towing a semi-trailer headed northbound on CR 17 when he stopped at a stop sign. At the same time, 30-year-old Cinthya Guerrero of Friona was traveling west on US-60 in a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze. 

Guerrero was traveling in the inside lane, and the Clovis man reportedly moved into the crossover lane to turn onto US-60 WB. The man reportedly failed to yield and entered oncoming traffic where he collided head-on with the Chevy. Guerrero suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. No further information on the deadly accident is currently available. 

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of Cinthya Guerrero at this time.

Fatal Head-On Collisions in Texas

A head-on collision is one of the deadliest kinds of accidents that can happen on American roads. This is because of the tremendous force involved in these types of crashes. There is a great deal of force involved in a collision between two cars going in different directions, and victims are far more likely to suffer from fatal injuries. Only 2 percent of reported crashes involve head-on collisions, but they still account for over 10 percent of fatal collisions annually. Drivers who veer into oncoming traffic, either as a result of general negligence or poor road conditions, are typically the cause of head-on collisions. 

Managing a fatal car crash is never simple. In addition to managing the grief that follows a deadly accident, you will likely have a lot of questions about what to do next. It is typical for families to postpone taking legal action after a fatal collision, and this can be a serious mistake. Immediate action must be taken to protect critical evidence if you later want to pursue a wrongful death claim. You should speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
