Wrong-Way Crash on I-20 in Martin County Leaves One Dead, Three Injured
Martin County, TX (June 10, 2025) — 88-year-old Ruben Ramirez Sanchez of Midland died, and three others were injured following a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 20 in Martin County on Friday afternoon.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the collision happened around 1:45 p.m. near mile marker 154. Investigators said a 2001 Ford Explorer driven by Sanchez was traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes when it collided head-on with a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse.
The impact forced the Traverse into the median cable barrier. The Ford then struck a 2027 International LT62F traveling eastbound. A driver operating a 1991 Peterbilt 359 attempted to avoid the wreck but hit the center median during the maneuver.
Sanchez was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Chevrolet Traverse sustained serious injuries and was transported to Midland Memorial Hospital. The drivers of the two commercial vehicles suffered minor injuries.
Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash.
Sweet Lawyers extends its sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of Ruben Ramirez Sanchez. We hope they find comfort and strength during this difficult time, and that those injured make a full recovery.
Finding Strength and Justice After a Tragic Loss
Losing someone you love in a sudden accident is one of life’s most painful experiences. Beyond the heartbreak, families are often left facing emotional, practical, and financial challenges — from medical bills and funeral costs to the loss of companionship and financial support.
In times like these, it’s important to know that you have options. Filing a wrongful death claim can help bring justice to your loved one’s memory and provide much-needed financial support for those left behind.
A wrongful death claim can help families recover compensation for:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical costs from the victim’s final care
- Lost income and future financial support
- Emotional suffering and loss of companionship
This legal process is about more than money — it’s about accountability. Whether the crash was caused by reckless driving, intoxication, or negligence, holding the at-fault party responsible helps ensure that similar tragedies are less likely to happen again.
While no legal action can ever replace the person you’ve lost, seeking justice can bring a sense of closure and peace to grieving families. It’s one way to honor your loved one’s life and legacy.
