A Texas family is suing SpaceX for negligence following a vehicle accident near the company's Boca Chica facility outside Brownsville that led to the death of a father-of-three.
Carlos Venegas, 35, was driving west along State Highway 4 with his wife and children at just after 4 a.m. on June 7, 2020 when their pickup truck crashed into the rear of an eighteen-wheeler commercial trailer, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Venegas, from San Benito, died at the scene due to blunt force trauma to his head, while the other passengers, including his children aged 14, 11 and two, suffered spinal and leg injuries.
