Status of Driver Who Killed The Family Last Year in Nebraska?

Last day of July 2016 a Bohren driver plowed into a minivan out near the I-80 / I-76 split in a construction zone and killed a family of 5 plus one more person in a car that was in front of the minivan. I'm trying to keep astride of this case, as the driver, a guy who came out without a scratch, had a suspended CDL and 7 previous wrecks, yet was still allowed to be on the road. Anyone have the latest? I've looked for news in the Trucker magazine from the T/As and Petros, but there's no word. The driver was arrested and was awaiting trial the last I heard.

 

Jesus almighty. Three of the killed were kids, all under 5. One was an infant. I know the relatives sued the trucking company, the state of Nebraska, and the construction company. But man...somebody else has got to go to jail over it. Suspended CDL and 7 priors. What the hell was the driver looking at when he came up on the slowdown?

 

The wreck happened on a Sunday morning, and I drove past the site the next day, about 28 hours later. I didn't know when I drove through the scene what had happened. I saw a burned Boehren trailer in the median and scorch marks on the pavement, plus I could smell it. Then I researched that night and found out what happened.

 

Stayinback, I don't know where you got that info from, but you need to go back and get a refund. That guy's trial hasn't even started yet. Try posting the truth next time.
