The family of a North Carolina prison inmate who was killed by a motorist while participating in a roadside cleanup crew plans to file a federal lawsuit, reports the Raleigh News & Observer. The driver, who has pleaded no contest to a driving misdemeanor in the case, is the son-in-law of former United States senator Lauch Faircloth. According to the News & Observer, the inmate was working on a grassy median when the driver rolled onto the median after trying to avoid hitting another car. The state has since ceased operating its inmate roadside cleanup operation on major highways.
