A Denver man whose wife and stepdaughter were killed last year when a city fire truck T-boned their vehicle filed a wrongful death lawsuit Tuesday over the fatal crash.
The fire truck’s impact flipped the car several times, according to the lawsuit, which says the vehicle traveled 75 to 100 feet before stopping. Charles died almost immediately; Williams was hospitalized and died two days after the crash. A third person in the vehicle survived. Williams and Hendry had lived together as husband and wife for 39 years, according to the lawsuit.
In the days following the crash, fire officials said they were looking into whether the fire truck’s system for changing traffic lights during emergency responses was working correctly. The lawsuit, filed in Denver District Court, did not detail facts to support its allegations of failed training and maintenance. Hendry’s attorney, Brett Barney, declined to elaborate on the complaint Wednesday.
“This is a tragedy,” he said. “Anytime there is a loss of life it affects everyone, and this is just an unfortunate circumstance that we will allow the court system to work out.”
