On Saturday, January 11, 2020, 0830hrs(local), Lubbock Police and Fire Rescue were on scene working a single-vehicle rollover crash. A southbound vehicle then crashed into the median several yards south of the first crash. 

While both accidents were being worked, another southbound vehicle crossed the median and struck the first responders.

Snow fell late Friday evening and into Saturday morning in Lubbock, which led to icy roadways. 

Ofc. Reyna was pronounced on scene. Lubbock Police Department for one year. Following the academy, he served on patrol during the day shift. 

Lt. Hill and a second Firefighter/Paramedic, Matthew Kenneth Dawson, age 30, were transported to University Medical Center.

Working wrecks on the highway are definitely one of the worst experiences of the job. I’ve had my car slammed into a few different times, but luckily I wasn’t in the car at the time. 
 

People are morons when they drive.

We were there shortly after this happened. The roads were mostly clear with some patches of snow/ice, all I can figure is they were traveling to fast and hit these icy patches.

Sad deal for sure.

Operating a motor vehicle in a safe manner and following all the numerous rules of the road is too difficult for the majority of the population. Driverless vehicles can’t get here fast enough. I would say mass transit but this country is too stupid to ever get that past the obstacles of “I like my truck” and “not building that through my yard”

I know, right?  It's like all those European countries with mass transit and trains have no cars on the highways and there are never any wrecks.

I guess the US just leads auto fatalities in the modern world because we just don't like driving that much. Oh but you're right, other people get in wrecks too. Cool

Ah, Mr. Agenda makes his appearance.

 

Horrible news about these guys.  Whoever said "senseless" had it right.

Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.

Before the ou game this year I assumed that our O-Line knew what a stunt was and how to handle it, so you won't get any argument here.

It was pretty icy/snowy all the way to Abernathy. Then it was clear all the way to Amarillo. Here in south Lubbock, I had a solid covering of snow until about 2 p.m.  Warm and windy today. Very odd weather. 

 

Very sad regarding the accident. Very common for people up here to out drive the conditions when it gets icy. I'll be driving along at 25 mph only to be passed by some jackass in a Explorer going 50 mph. Then I see that same jackass in the ditch 3 miles up the road--sometimes taking some other poor bastard with them. Makes me ragey.

^^^^ Couldn’t agree more, see it all the time. Dumb motherfuckers think since they have 4wd they can go whatever speed they want, 4wd doesn’t help their dumb asses slow down any faster.

But, but, but, what if they have Traction Control, too?
