The widow of a truck driver who plunged off a Wisconsin interstate overpass to avoid a fiery collision is suing a company whose driver she says caused the crash.
Lillian Moss Johnson filed a lawsuit Thursday against Warehouse Transport Services over the death of her husband, Jeffrey Johnson, the Wisconsin Journal Sentinel reported.
The lawsuit accuses Warehouse Transport of negligence in its hiring, training and supervising of Kenneth Rogers, a semi-trailer driver who also died in the crash. Both trailers burst into flames, setting other cars on fire and sending plumes of smoke into the air, according to Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling.
The crash occurred near Mount Pleasant, which is about 24 miles south of Milwaukee. At least three drivers of the passenger vehicles were injured in the collision.
