NUECES, TX, (Aug. 10, 2026) – A 59-year-old man was killed in a two-vehicle crash Monday evening in Nueces County.
According to police, Jarrod Fangman was driving northbound on Highway 361 near Beach Access Road 2 at approximately 7:10 p.m. when a driver swerved into his lane and struck his vehicle. Authorities said the driver of the other vehicle was at fault in the collision.
The crash remains under investigation.
Every day, victims like Mr. Fangman lose their lives in car crashes across the country, often as a result of another driver’s negligence.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that speeding was the leading cause of fatal crashes last year, followed by driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication, failing to stay within the proper lane, failing to yield the right of way, and distracted driving. Roughly 36,000 people are killed in motor vehicle crashes annually in the U.S.
As the cause and liability of this crash continue to be examined, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, emphasized the importance of an independent investigation carried out by a seasoned attorney.
“Beyond the thorough work already being done by law enforcement, an attorney can go back and re-interview key witnesses, review any available surveillance footage from the crash site, and obtain phone and texting records belonging to the at-fault party,” said Bond, a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “As an advocate, an attorney can offer compassionate support to a family grieving the loss of a loved one during this difficult time, while also protecting their legal rights and best interests.”
Jarrod Fangman’s family members may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim. Relatives of wrongful death victims may be entitled to seek damages for loss of companionship, pain, suffering, and emotional distress stemming from a tragic or catastrophic accident.
“We know exactly what families go through in situations like this, and protecting their rights is essential,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “A wrongful death attorney will keep close watch on the official investigation and help ensure the family’s best interests are looked after. Relatives of wrongful death victims can seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.”
