Two families filed a lawsuit against an errant truck driver who crashed his big rig into a line of cars on Interstate Highway 55 near Plainfield, Minnesota.

Two people were killed and another was seriously injured. Families involved filed lawsuits, claiming that the accident was the result of negligence on part of the truck driver. They also accused the freight broker who engaged the driver.

“Both parties in this case are responsible for the deaths and injuries to the drivers as well as the passengers hit by the truck”, claimed the personal injury lawyer for the families affected. “This has resulted in irreparable loss and damage to the families and the persons responsible should pay for it.”

The court accepted the arguments, and heavily punished freight contractor C.H. Robinson of Minnesota and De An Henry, the truck driver from Utah.
