Tommy Joe “T.J.” Rohrbough Killed in Truck Accident in Ector County, TX
Ector County, TX -- March 17, 2023, Tommy Jo Rohrbough was killed following an accident where a vehicle crashed into a truck.
Investigators said that the incident happened just after 6:00 a.m. along Highway 302. It appears that 42-year-old T.J. Rohrbough was in a vehicle traveling westbound along the highway. For reasons unclear, Rohrbough's vehicle crashed into the back of a Mack truck.

Due to the collision, Rohrbough was fatally injured. No other injuries were reported. Right now, additional details are unavailable.
Something I try to emphasize a lot on this blog is that situations which some may think are straight-forward very rarely are. There are virtually countless reasons a crash like this can occur. Yet many will likely just blame the victim simply because they hit the back of the truck.
But we in the public don't have any information about things like lighting, road conditions, conditions of the vehicles involved, details about potential mechanical defects, possible issues this stretch of road or intersection may have, etc. Likely or not, considering all of these possibilities is vital for ensuring a family gets the answers they deserve. I can only hope authorities here are equally focused on ensuring the whole story is coming to light rather than jumping to conclusions.
