Lawsuit seeks $350 million from CRST for 2014 crash that injured CHP trooper

A lawsuit seeking hundreds of millions in damages against CRST, Inc., its subsidiaries and a former company driver for their role in a July 2014 crash that severely injured a former California Highway Patrol officer and his brother.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleges that CRST Inc., CRST Van Expedited, and other companies were negligent in the hiring of driver Hector Contreras, who was behind the wheel of one of the company’s 2014 Freightliner tractors when the rig reportedly crossed the center line and struck a private passenger vehicle carrying California Highway Patrol officer Michael Lennig and his brother Matthew on July 7, 2014. The suit alleges that Contreras was under the influence at the time of the crash.

The suit claims that CRST and its associated companies failed and refused to properly hire, screen, train and/or supervise their employees. The lawsuit seeks punitive damages in excess of $350 million.

According to the complaint, CRST was negligent by failing to perform an adequate background check on Contreras, failing to follow their own policies, and failing to pull Contreras off of the road following four previous accidents before the July collision.

Among the allegations in the lawsuit are that CRST and its affiliated companies failed to conduct an in-depth background check on Contreras, and hired him despite his alleged record of having been convicted of driving under the influence, grand theft auto, and “multiple convictions for the possession of illicit substances and illicit substance use.” The lawsuit also claims that from his hire date of Dec. 5, 2013, and the date of the crash, Contreras caused a total of four preventable collisions, including two that occurred less than two weeks before the crash with the Lennigs.

“CRST driver Hector Contreras has a long list of prior convictions ranging from driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia, and felony grand theft auto,” plaintiffs’ attorney Khail Parris said in a press release. “CRST had also been alerted by his co-driver that Hector Contreras posed a danger to the public at large.”

CRST Expedited did not respond to a request for comment.

Despite causing four preventable collisions, Contreras was only required to attend one defensive driving course. Two months prior to the collision, the lawsuit states, Contreras’ co-driver notified CRST that the defendant was pulled over by law enforcement for tailgating and speeding in a construction zone.

The suit also alleges that Contreras, who had been hired in December 2013, was driving the truck without a co-driver, in violation of the company’s own policy of having new employee drivers undergo a probationary period with a co-driver.

The crash occurred on State Route 14 in Mojave, in a construction zone on the Red Rock Canyon Bridge. According to a press release issued Thursday by the Parris law firm, Matthew suffered a traumatic brain injury, severe injuries to his arm, and multiple fractures to his ribs. Michael, a California Highway Patrol officer, shattered two vertebrae and sustained a traumatic brain injury.

The lawsuit also seeks damages from several construction companies for failing to erect “K-rails” or any other barriers between northbound and southbound traffic which would have prevented the crash.

This what I hate about trucking. Everyone thinks they know everytbing. Y'all all ganged up on me when i was the one actually trying to give her good advice. All i was saying is why choose CRST when prime clearly payed more with less training..mean while yall spent 6 pages talking about 14 cents isnt half of 25 and hlaf half of all miles split is the same as half of 25 cents...pshh...

I finished 1.5 years at prime and have been doong1 local fuel hauling last 2 years...now does my opinion about how prime pays more to train than crst mean anything more to yall? Well it dosnt make a difference... Still right.


And I never did lease.. The fact so many pwople trasbed talked me for something I never did nor talked about proves my point about the mentality of a lot of drivers. Thinks they know everything while eating fast food behind the steering wheel with out bathing for 5 days... Not everyone is like that thiigh6 and those are the ones making money. AND you can make good money doing lease at prime if you run yhe truck right but I dont even want talk get into that. Just saying.

Anyways I wanted to see how CRST was working out for her. Guess we aall know that answer. If OP is still looking give prime a call. I liked it and made a lot of money as a trainer and about 1250 after taxes insurance and 401 at 6% before I trained. Never worked to hard either and was home almost every weekend. My original opinion is still the same. Dont listen to these people trying to grt you to stay with a company that pays you less with 1000s of people confirming theres a lot of reason to try somewhere else first...or people who say you can ot can't do something with 0 facts. I gave you my reasons for prime over CRST TIME AND MONEY.

Alright. Lets hear from the no it all's. What y'all want to say to me now?
