Bowie County, TX — August 15, 2025, Alexis Thurman, Nathan Brush, and two minors were injured in a car accident at about 6:15 p.m. along McCoy Boulevard.

According to authorities, four people—27-year-old Alexis Thurman, 24-year-old Nathan Brush, and two boys ages one and two—were traveling in a northbound Ford Mustang on McCoy boulevard at the Interstate Highway 30 intersection when the accident took place.

Officials indicate that, for as yet unknown reasons, a northwest bound Nissan Pathfinder cut the corner on a left turn. A collision consequently occurred between the front-end of the Pathfinder and the front-end of the Mustang.

Both Thurman and Brush reportedly sustained serious injuries over the course of the accident. The two children suffered minor injuries, as well, according to reports. Additional details pertaining to this incident are not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.

Crashes at intersections often unfold in just a moment, but the aftermath can last far longer. When multiple adults and children are injured, it’s important to step back from quick explanations and ask whether the investigation has really uncovered what happened.

1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
A turn gone wrong doesn’t always mean the driver simply “cut the corner.” Investigators should confirm the Mustang’s exact path, the Pathfinder’s turning angle, and whether either driver attempted evasive action. That requires careful scene mapping, impact analysis, and review of driver behavior leading up to the collision. Without a full reconstruction, it’s too easy to leave the story at surface-level assumptions.

2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
It’s fair to ask whether the Pathfinder or Mustang experienced a malfunction that contributed. A steering issue, brake failure, or delayed response from stability systems could explain why one vehicle ended up in the other’s path. Even a problem as simple as a tire blowout can change the trajectory of a turn. Unless both vehicles are inspected thoroughly, the possibility of a mechanical or electronic defect may never be ruled out.

3. Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Both vehicles likely stored important crash data—speed, braking, steering inputs, and system alerts in the moments before impact. That information can establish whether drivers attempted to avoid the collision, or if their vehicles didn’t respond properly. Cameras near the intersection may also provide independent verification of the timeline. If investigators don’t secure that evidence quickly, the most reliable account of what really happened could be lost.

Crashes that leave multiple people hurt are too serious to rely on assumptions. The truth often lies in the hidden details—mechanical, electronic, and behavioral—that only come to light when someone asks the right questions.

Key Takeaways:

• Intersection crashes require a full reconstruction of vehicle movements and driver actions.
• Mechanical or electronic failures could have contributed to the vehicles’ paths.
• Onboard data and nearby cameras may hold the clearest explanation if preserved quickly.
