NEW ORLEANS - Relatives of three people killed in a Christmas Day crash in 2008 were awarded a multi-million dollar settlement following a decision by a New Orleans Civil District Court jury.
The plaintiffs' attorney says the $90.5 million judgement is against Westernstar Transportation and its owners.
After a Lincoln sedan had a flat tire, the driver was traveling slowly on Interstate 10 in an effort to safely pull over at the next exit. That driver was being followed by the driver of a GMC Yukon, who was trying to help.
That's when a tractor-trailer slammed into the SUV, causing it to hit the sedan and catch fire.
Three passengers died, including a 6-year-old and 3-year-old.
The accident took place shortly after midnight on Interstate 10 in LaPlace on Dec. 25, 2008.
The driver of the tractor-trailer claimed the slow response was due to her fatigue.

 

Yes, what you heard is correct. After a jury trial, the families were awarded 90 million! Yes, that is not a misprint. The driver of the truck was charged with vehicular manslaughter. I am not sure how her case is doing. The owners were forced to sell their homes. If any of you don't think this could happen to you....Be careful. You can be jailed if you hurt or kill someone while driving beyond your HOS!!!!

 

from what i've heard; r & r out of audubon, mn isn't a bit better to work for than western star transportation aka the cadwallader klan aka jackie's slaves

 

i believe you could be charged with manslaughter even if you have hours available but im no lawyer

 

First and foremost you never ever tell law-enforcement that you're fatigued even if you feel that you are... Is the minute you tell him that you're finished

 

if ya go to r&r site it reads only 1 truck I ran for them yrs ago.nice kw big hood ca.and back so what is it. sounds like both belly up
