Lawyers for former KTRK reporter Wayne Dolcefino on Friday filed a lawsuit against a driver who hit him head-on, sending to the hospital with head injuries and several fractures.

The crash happened April 25 along Highway 87 near Brady, about 130 miles northwest of Austin.

Dolcefino is being represented by the San Antonio-based Crosley Law Firm.

The suit was filed in Travis County against the other driver, who was ticketed, and AT&T, the company he works for.

"This accident is the result of gross negligence and AT&T, through its employee, has refused to cooperate in our investigation," attorney Tom Crosley said in a statement.

Dolcefino worked at Channel 13 for 26 years before departing in 2012. He now owns his own firm, Dolcefino Consulting, that provides crisis management, ethics reviews, informational marketing and other services.

A message for comment from AT&T had not been returned later Friday.
