Victims Win Largest Settlement for Truck Accident

Just recently, the victims of a 2010 truck accident in Pennsylvania, which resulted in some losing their lives, agreed to a settlement with the truck driver, the trucking company as well as other defendants for $26.1 million. Back in 2010, a tractor trailer rear ended a car that was sitting in traffic due to construction. One of the occupants of the car was killed from this truck accident while other passengers suffered serious injuries as well.  The driver of the truck that caused the accident was said to be speeding. The driver said that the reason he didn't see the car in front of him was because the sun was in his eyes but actually at the time the sun was behind him. Due to this statement it was believed that the truck driver was either drowsy or could of fallen asleep at the wheel, but they were unable to prove this was the case.
