Pennsylvania Recycling Firm Sued in Fatal Truck Accident

The Centre Daily Times reports that a Pennsylvania recycling firm, along with one of its employees, is being sued by victims of an accident in which one of the firm's trucks lost its brakes and crashed into a commercial garage. The crash killed a 59-year-old man, destroyed the garage, and, according to the lawsuit, caused the owner of the garage severe emotional and physical injuries. Police accused the driver of the truck of incorrectly applying his brakes instead of downshifting when traveling down Pennsylvania's Pine Grove Mountain. According to the Centre Daily Times, no criminal charges were filed against the driver, though fines of $811 were imposed.
