The widow of a truck driver who plunged
off an I-94 overpass to avoid hitting cars involved in a fiery collision
in Racine County has sued the company that employed a second big
rig driver the suit says caused the crash
.
The bizarre daytime crash on June 19 near Highway K in Mount Pleasant resulted in giant fireballs and the closure of the freeway in both directions for hours.
Authorities
called Jeffrey Johnson a hero for his evasive action to avoid striking
other cars. Now his widow and administrator of his estate, Lillian Moss
Johnson of Milwaukee, is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive
damages for his death.
