Truck violation queries arise post 18-wheeler crash, leading to 5 deaths on I-20
There are concerns arising on Thursday regarding a trucking company whose driver claims to have fallen asleep while driving, resulting in a tragic crash on I-20 near Terrell in June. The incident involved seven vehicles and resulted in the deaths of five individuals, with five others sustaining injuries. A lawyer representing one of the victims' families holds the trucking company accountable for the fatal accident and questions the company's credibility in transporting goods on U.S. freeways. The collision occurred on June 28, claiming the lives of five individuals, including four members of the McKeller family and another woman, with the driver allegedly responsible for the crash being 27-year-old Alexis Osmani Gonzalez-Companioni from Florida, who survived and admitted to falling asleep at the wheel. Legal action has yet to be taken in this case, and investigations by Texas DPS and federal safety officials are ongoing. The trucking company involved in the incident, Hope Trans, was reportedly transporting mail for the U.S. Postal Service. An expert in trucking industry data analytics, Steve Bryan, raises concerns over the company's safety standards and enforcement, stressing the need for stricter regulations. The involvement of USPS contractors in such accidents is under scrutiny, and the USPS confirmed awareness of the ongoing investigation.
