A passenger died in a multi-vehicle collision on Highway 183 in Austin. The collision involved two vehicles that were pushed into northbound lanes and struck by another car. The family of the deceased sued the drivers and their employers, alleging negligence in operation, distraction, and failure to train and monitor drivers. The defense admitted to following too closely but argued that cell phone use and training did not contribute to the crash. The jury found one driver and his employer mostly at fault.
