El Paso, TX (November 13, 2025) – A serious collision between a car and a semi-truck left one person in critical condition on Wednesday afternoon, November 12, in East El Paso. The crash happened around 2:21 p.m. at Loma Verde and Pine Springs Drive, close to Loma Verde Elementary School.
Emergency crews rushed to the intersection after receiving reports of a severe crash. Paramedics airlifted one person to a nearby hospital in critical condition. Officials have not released the victim’s identity or confirmed whether anyone else suffered injuries.
The crash caused a large oil spill that forced police to close the roadway for several hours. Cleanup crews removed the spill and cleared debris to protect nearby residents and school traffic.
The El Paso Police Department continues to investigate the cause of the collision.
Our thoughts are with the victim and their loved ones as they work through this difficult time.
Semi-Truck Accidents in Texas
Semi-truck accidents in Texas often lead to devastating injuries. With busy highways, constant commercial traffic, and growing cities like El Paso, crashes involving 18-wheelers happen often and create severe damage. These massive trucks carry tons of weight, which increases the force of impact during any collision.
Common causes of semi-truck accidents include driver fatigue, speeding, distracted driving, improper lane changes, and overloaded trailers. In areas like East El Paso, where trucks travel near neighborhoods and school zones, the risk of serious crashes rises, similar to the collision near Loma Verde Elementary School.
Victims of semi-truck accidents often face long and painful recoveries. Many need emergency treatment, surgeries, and months of rehabilitation. The physical pain, emotional stress, and financial pressure can be overwhelming, especially when medical bills increase and work becomes impossible.
If you or a loved one was injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical care, rehabilitation, and future treatment
- Lost wages or reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering from physical and emotional trauma
- Vehicle repair or replacement
Insurance companies rarely offer fair settlements in truck accident cases. They often minimize injuries or try to shift blame to reduce payouts. A skilled truck accident lawyer can protect your rights and fight for the full compensation you need to move forward.
