The relatives of people killed in a multiple car crash in Eureka, St. Louis, have filed wrongful death lawsuits. The crash took place in July, and occurred after a gravel filled dump truck failed to slow down at the Interstate 44 exit for Six Flags, St. Louis. Five people lost their lives in the incident and a number of others were seriously injured.
In addition to twelve injuries sustained by people in five separate vehicles, the occupants of a minivan were killed in the accident. The victims were Angela Huckaba, aged 30, her 9-year-old son, Jacob, and her 7-year-old son, Joshua. Also killed were Huckaba’s sister, Amy Willingham, 18, and her brother, Brett Willingham, aged 14.
The lawsuit alleges that the driver was negligent and that he drive at excessive speeds and failed to brake or stop in time to miss a serious impact with the van in which the five victims were traveling.
Named as part of the lawsuit is the driver of the gravel truck, Thomas Miskel of Imperial, along with Six Flags, and the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission. Topic Added October 25th, 2005
