A single-vehicle rollover on U.S. 77 just north of Driscoll, Texas, left one woman dead and four other people injured on Sunday, November 1, 2026. It happened around 1:46 p.m. A 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe was heading north when the driver reportedly fell asleep, drifted into the median, then crossed both lanes to the right shoulder and rolled. The SUV came to rest upside down in water, and passing motorists reportedly pulled the driver and three passengers out.

According to the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, the Nueces County Medical Examiner’s Office pronounced one passenger dead at the scene, and she was reportedly thrown from the vehicle. The Caller-Times reports the driver, another adult and a 16-year-old were taken to Christus Spohn Shoreline, while a 12-year-old boy was taken to Driscoll Children’s Hospital. KIII also reported that authorities have not released the conditions of the injured. Texas DPS troopers from the Highway Patrol Office in Corpus Christi are investigating.

What the Law Says

Texas Transportation Code Chapter 545 sets the rules of the road, including the requirement that drivers stay within a single lane and not move from it unless it can be done safely. A driver who drifts out of the lane because of fatigue or inattention may be found to have breached these duties. Violations of traffic laws can be evidence of negligence in a civil injury claim.

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 71, the surviving family members of a person killed by another’s wrongful act or negligence may bring a wrongful death claim. Injured passengers may also pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income and pain and suffering. Texas time limits apply, so speaking with a lawyer early matters. We work on a no fees or costs unless we win basis.
