Summary
In this trucking case, Taliah Freeman and Steven Haynes were hit by a truck operated by C&T Durham Trucking Co. This crash stranded the pair's SUV, which was then struck by another car as the two attempted to exit to the shoulder. Freeman suffered fatal injuries, while Haynes was severely injured.
Representatives for the plaintiff claim that, in the initial collision, the tractor-trailer was in the process of changing lanes and failed to check for traffic. This failure, they assert, led to truck driver Randell Trice striking the back of Haynes and Freeman's SUV and causing the crash.
Representatives for the defendant rely on statements from both parties after the incident. They present initial statements from Haynes that another vehicle forced him into the truck's lane, supporting Trice's story that Haynes entered his lane first.
