What Happened

Texas Department of Public Safety officials are investigating a crash that injured a driver at I-20 in Ector County, TX on March 14th, 2022. Police say the incident happened around 12:31 p.m. According to police, a Nissan Armada operated by 44-year-old Gerardo Cesar Porras Espinoza was headed eastbound in an outside lane of I-20 while a Ford F-350 operated by a 30-year-old Midland man was facing east, stopped in an outside lane due to a previous crash. Police allege the Armada failed to control its speed and collided with the rear of a trailer being towed by the Ford, causing serious injuries to Espinoza. Investigators say driver visibility may have been impaired at the time due to high winds blowing sand in the area. The driver of the Ford was not injured. Records indicate a Failure to Control Speed charge was recommended and/or issued.
