A tractor-trailer driven by a company trainer drifted onto the shoulder of an interstate and struck a parked box truck with its hazard lights on, killing the co-driver who was asleep in the sleeper berth. A Texas jury found the driver had fallen asleep at the wheel and, in a case centred on driver fatigue and the carrier's safety policies, awarded the co-driver's family $104 million, including punitive damages. The carrier said it was evaluating its appeal options.
