LUBBOCK, TX, (August 09, 2025) - A 28-year-old man lost his life early Saturday after his car was hit by a speeding vehicle in Lubbock.
Ruiz Pardo tragically lost his life Saturday in a collision with a speeding vehicle in Lubbock.
Police said Ruiz Pardo was traveling south on the 6300 block of Milwaukee Avenue at about 1 a.m. when he tried to turn east into a convenience store parking lot. A northbound vehicle, reportedly traveling at a high rate of speed, struck Pardo’s car, forcing it into a utility pole.

FATAL CRASH INVESTIGATION
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), speeding was a factor in 29 percent of all traffic fatalities in 2022, resulting in 12,151 deaths and an estimated 300,595 injuries.
Excessive speeding reduces the time the driver has to react in a dangerous situation, making it more difficult to avoid a crash. Regardless of the findings of any police investigation, Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, stressed that it is imperative to hire an attorney to conduct an independent probe into the cause of the crash to secure evidence and protect the rights of the victim’s grieving family.

Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide a family who has lost a loved one during this difficult time, while vigorously protecting their legal rights and best interests.”
