Jakendryck Collins killed in TX rollover crash, DPS says

REFUGIO, TX, (March 22, 2026) — A 20-year-old Sugar Land man, Jakendryck Collins, died Tuesday from injuries he sustained in a rollover crash Sunday on U.S. 77 in Refugio County, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Authorities said a northbound Jeep Wrangler suffered a rear tire blowout at about 1:54 p.m., causing the driver to lose control. The vehicle veered off the roadway, entered the shoulder, and overturned multiple times.

Collins, a rear-seat passenger, was ejected and airlifted to CHRISTUS Spohn Shoreline Hospital in Corpus Christi, where he later died. Another passenger was also ejected and airlifted, while two others were transported to a local hospital. The crash remains under investigation.


CRASH INVESTIGATION

Tire blowouts remain a major contributor to rollover crashes, particularly on high-speed highways where drivers have limited reaction time. When a tire fails suddenly—due to tread separation, under-inflation, or heat buildup—a vehicle can quickly lose stability and overturn. Rear-tire blowouts are especially hazardous as they can lead to immediate fishtailing and loss of control.

“It is critical to determine the precise cause of these types of crashes. An attorney has the resources to review insurance coverage, retain expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and identify witnesses,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

She emphasized that an independent investigation is essential to preserve evidence.

“In addition to reviewing official reports, an attorney will analyze all contributing factors,” Bond said. “Legal counsel can retain experts, examine driver history, locate witnesses, and evaluate insurance policies. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can help guide victims and their families through a complex process.”


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Jakendryck Collins may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Surviving family members may seek compensation for loss of companionship, emotional distress, and other damages following a tragic accident.

“The grief and emotional toll after losing a loved one in a crash can be overwhelming,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“We understand the challenges families face, and protecting their legal rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will monitor the investigation and help ensure that the family’s best interests are represented,” Bond added.
