Little Boy Killed by Careless Truck Driver
The mother of a 6-year-old Massachusetts boy who was killed by a tractor-trailer earlier this year has filed a $30 million lawsuit against the driver and the Canadian trucking company that employed him.
Brendon Mahoney was killed when the tractor-trailer, driven by Francis Hammond, 41, jackknifed, striking the vehicle that Kimberly Kyle, 27, was driving. The tragic accident happened as the vehicles were approaching a traffic backup caused by a snowstorm that hit the night before. Highway workers were still clearing snow from the road when the accident occurred.
The lawsuit alleges that Kyle was traveling at about 20 mph in a southbound lane of Interstate 93 when Hammond lost control of his tractor-trailer, which contained forty tons of plywood. Hammond was allegedly driving 30-40 mph, too fast for those driving conditions.
According to the lawsuit, “Brendon was deprived the joys, pleasures and accomplishments of life, was caused to suffer the excruciating and humanly unbearable conscious pain and suffering.”
