Family Sues After Deadly Cement Truck Accident


Posted on May 09, 2008

The family of a mother killed three weeks ago when a cement truck landed on her SUV at Highway 183 and Stemmons Freeway is suing the company and the driver.

 

A husband is without his wife and a five-year old is without a mother. Now the family has filed a lawsuit against the Dallas company and the driver they say is responsible.

 

"This is not someone you would expect to be operating a 25-ton cement truck," said Mark Werbner, the attorney representing the Gamez family.

 

The accident happened when the driver of a cement truck reportedly swerved and lost control, then slammed into a barrier and landed on Maria Gamez's SUV. Maria did not survive, but her daughter, five-year-old Angelica, was pulled to safety by firefighters.

 

The family's attorney claims the driver was reckless and shouldn't have been behind the wheel with his history of driving infractions.
