The collision happened Oct. 15 at 54th Street and Slide Road
LUBBOCK, TX, (October 15, 2025) – Lubbock police are investigating a pursuit-related crash that seriously injured a motorist Oct. 15.
Perry Clark was seriously injured when a stolen vehicle fleeing from police struck his car at 54th Street and Slide Road in Lubbock.
According to police, officers tried to stop a stolen vehicle at around 9:55 a.m. in the 2600 block of 34th Street. The driver refused to stop and led officers on a chase. During the pursuit, police attempted a vehicle containment maneuver, but the stolen vehicle hit a police car and kept going southbound on Slide Road. The fleeing vehicle then crashed into a passenger car that was turning west onto 54th Street.
Perry Clark, 71, was driving the passenger car that was struck. He was transported to University Medical Center with serious injuries. The impact caused the stolen truck to flip multiple times before colliding with a telephone pole.
The driver of the stolen truck, a 28-year-old man, was taken to UMC with moderate injuries. Three other occupants were in the truck at the time of the incident.
Additional details of the incident were not immediately released.
CRASH INVESTIGATION
“It is imperative to come to a determination of the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, run background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the family of the victim through the process,” said Candice Bond, a managing partner with Bond Legal.
She noted that in cases such as this it’s important to have an independent investigation conducted sooner than later to better preserve any evidence.
“In addition to a police report, an attorney will carefully review what may have contributed to the crash,” said Bond. “A lawyer has the resources to hire expert witnesses, conduct drivers’ background checks, locate witnesses to the crash and review applicable insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help guide an injury victim through what can be a complicated process.”
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM
Perry Clark may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim, pending the results of the investigation.
Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.
“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. That’s where an attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” he added.
