Fatal Texas Dump Truck Accident – Reckless Driving Or Brake Malfunction?

In September of 2008 in Montgomery County, Texas, a dump truck driver killed a co-worker in a rollover truck accident. Although the man, 25-year-old JR Cruikshank Jr., initially said that the fatal texas truck accident was caused by faulty brakes, it was revealed that reckless driving the was cause of the truck crash.

Cruikshank pled guilty to criminally negligent homicide and was sentenced to 15 months in jail.

Originally, Cruikchank said that he was driving the truck when the brakes failed and that he put on the emergency brake and put the truck in reverse in order to avoid a copse of trees. But when evidence showed the truck had been regularly inspected and that the truck was still safe to drive, Cruikshank changed his story.

Although he only worked for Enviro-Waste Systems for three months before the accident, the company had already fielded reports that Cruikshank drove too fast. We have an experienced Dallas turck accident lawyer who can help you with your case, contact us today.
