Theresa Owens injured in Orange hit-and-run accident

ORANGE, Texas — Authorities are investigating a fatal hit-and-run accident involving multiple vehicles that occurred on May 1 on Farm-to-Market 1006.


The accident happened at approximately 6:30 a.m. A dark-colored pickup struck the rear of a 2019 Ford passenger car, pushing it into the oncoming lane. The Ford collided with a 2025 Chevrolet SUV before being struck again by the pickup, which caused it to hit a 2015 Dodge passenger car. The pickup fled the scene.


Theresa Owens, 50, was identified as one of the injured. She was driving the Chevrolet SUV and was transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.


A 21-year-old man from Vidor, who was driving the Ford, was pronounced dead at the scene. A 30-year-old man from Florida, who was driving the Dodge, was also injured and taken to the hospital.


The Texas Department of Public Safety continues to investigate the accident and is searching for the pickup and its driver. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact DPS.


HIT-AND-RUN INVESTIGATION NEEDED

In most cases involving hit-and-runs, the at-fault drivers feel that they can avoid the consequences of their actions if they leave the scene. However, a suspect will be charged when apprehended.
Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said in such cases is imperative to have an independent investigation conducted by a seasoned attorney promptly to protect the rights of a victim.
“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, a Managing Partner of Bond Legal. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that must be fully considered. These procedures are necessary for helping someone who has lost a loved one at the hands of a hit-and-run driver receive the justice and monetary compensation that they deserve.”


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Theresa Owens may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim, pending the investigation.
Bond added, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.
“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. That’s where an attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” she said.
