- Traffic ViolationsA rollover accident in September 2005 on Interstate 55 outside of Jackson, Mississippi, involved a 1997 Red Century Freightliner driven by a friend of the plaintiff. The vehicle was transporting supplies to victims of Hurricane Katrina. The at-fault driver was speeding in a military convoy and was traveling too fast to avoid the victims. He pulled onto the shoulder and the truck took them off the roadway and into the ditch, where the truck flipped to the passenger side. The driver and passenger were able to exit the vehicle before it exploded. The plaintiff suffered neck injuries and eventually had a neck fusion. The plaintiff worked on a farm at the time of the accident and had to modify his workday to accommodate his limitations.
