Wellington, FL (May 20, 2025) – The family of 23-year-old Mason Powell is advocating for trucking safety reform after he was tragically killed in a crash involving a semi-truck earlier this year.
Incident Details: The deadly collision occurred in February 2024 on Southern Boulevard in Wellington. According to family members and news reports, Mason Powell’s vehicle was struck by a semi-truck under circumstances they believe could have been prevented with stricter commercial driving regulations and better enforcement. The exact cause of the crash remains under investigation, but it involved a large commercial vehicle that collided with Powell’s car as he returned home from work.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: Authorities have not publicly disclosed if charges will be filed, but the Powell family is pushing for stronger oversight of the trucking industry. They are urging lawmakers to examine existing laws and introduce legislation to improve road safety, particularly concerning fatigued driving and proper vehicle maintenance.
The Powell family has since launched a campaign in Mason’s memory, hoping to spare other families the same grief.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Mason Powell’s loved ones during this difficult time.
