A father and son were killed Sunday morning in a head-on crash on FM 2220 south of 6 Mile Line, north of McAllen, Texas. Authorities say a white Toyota Scion crossed into oncoming traffic and struck a black Cadillac Escalade around 11:38 a.m. The Toyota’s driver died at the scene, and his passenger died later at a hospital. Two occupants of the Cadillac were taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

According to KRGV, the victims were identified as 31-year-old Fabian Diego Guerrero, who was driving the Toyota, and his father, 64-year-old Fabian Guerrero, a McAllen immigration attorney. The Texas Department of Public Safety says the Toyota veered into the northbound lane for reasons that remain unknown before colliding with the Cadillac. Fabian’s widow, Anissa Olivia Guerrero, told KRGV her husband was known for putting clients at ease. DPS troopers say the investigation into the crash is still active.

What the Law Says

Texas Transportation Code Section 545.051 requires drivers to stay on the right half of the roadway except when passing, avoiding an obstruction, or on a one-way street. When a vehicle crosses the centerline into oncoming traffic, as investigators say happened on FM 2220, it creates a serious risk of a head-on collision. Violating this rule can support a finding of negligence in a civil claim, even while the criminal investigation remains open.

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 71, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of someone killed by another person’s negligence may bring a wrongful death claim. The law allows recovery for losses such as loss of companionship, mental anguish, and loss of earning capacity. A claim like this does not depend on the outcome of any criminal investigation into the crash.
