Episode Details

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed by the parents of 24-year-old sheriff’s deputy Erika Serrato, who was killed in a head-on crash while responding to an emergency on I-45 North in Texas. The suit names truck driver Ian Perez and his employers, accusing him of falling asleep at the wheel while speeding — and failing to obey Texas law requiring drivers to yield to emergency vehicles. The family also alleges corporate negligence, claiming the companies didn’t properly vet, train, or monitor Perez’s work hours or driving record. They’re seeking compensation for their devastating loss and ongoing emotional trauma — though the exact amount remains undisclosed. Companies involved have yet to respond.
