Jury Awards Damages to Family of Teen Killed in Crash
A Virginia jury has ordered the owners and driver of a tractor-trailer to pay more than $5 million to the family of a 16-year-old girl who was killed in a 2008 auto crash. Following a two-day trial, jurors found that Don B. Swisher Trucking Corp. and McCann Delivery Service were negligent for failing to properly supervise the driver and allowing him to drive a truck with defective parts. Separately, the driver was sentenced to two years in prison for his role in the crash. Tasha Kates, Charlottesville Daily Progress 11/14/2009
