      Fiancé, Family Seek Answers After Deadly Wrong-Way Wreck in Fort Worth

      Chelsea Cook was killed and Evan Ranallo was injured in wrong-way wreckOn October 27, Chelsea Cook was killed, and her fiancé, Evan Ranallo, was seriously injured after their pickup was struck by a wrong-way driver in northwest Fort Worth.

      The couple was driving home on Northwest Loop 820 early Sunday morning after a performance by Evan’s band when they were hit head-on by a Ford Focus occupied by a family of four – all of whom tragically died in the crash, including two children.

      Chelsea also died at the scene. Evan survived but has had multiple surgeries and remains hospitalized.

      Devastated by the tragedy, Evan and Chelsea’s family have retained the law firm of Varghese Summersett to investigate the accident and uncover all contributing factors that may have led to this tragedy.

      How did this happen? Why was the other family driving the wrong way on the freeway? Was alcohol or impairment involved? Were there any road signs or warnings that may have been missed? Were there any eyewitnesses who could provide additional details about the moments leading up to the crash?

      Chelsea Cook and Evan Ranallo“Our goal is to support the families through this incredibly difficult time, find the answers they deserve, and address any and all responsible parties,” said Partner Ty Stimpson, who leads the firm’s Personal Injury Division. “Chelsea’s life was tragically cut short, and Evan faces a long road of recovery, both physically and emotionally. This couple was supposed to be planning their wedding.”

      A GoFundMe has been established in honor of Chelsea and to support Evan’s long-term medical needs: https://gofund.me/1983a26a.
