AP news story from December 4
The widow of a man who died after a truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and struck him in southern Wyoming is suing for wrongful death.
Katsiaryna Krauchanka has filed a complaint against the driver, the company he worked for, the owners of the company, and Fedex Freight Inc.
Aleksandr Kozak was killed last April on the shoulder of I-80 when Edward Barrowes fell asleep at the wheel. Barrowes was sentenced to 14 to 18 years in prison.
The complaint claims that Barrowes was not fit to drive and that his employer, C&M Star Corp. and the owners knew he was unfit. The complaint also claims Fedex chose to hire C&M Star despite their safety rating.
