A lawsuit tied to a crash in South Fulton County ended in voluntary dismissal after two years, but Turner Transportation says the dispute left the company with legal expenses.
Dash-camera footage from the Camp Creek Parkway case shows a car weaving through traffic before braking in front of a semi. Police initially determined the truck driver was at fault. The car’s driver later sued for damages and medical bills.
Turner Transportation said the dispute lasted two years and concluded when the lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed. The company was left with legal expenses; no amount was provided in the verified facts.
Staged-crash schemes involve drivers intentionally causing collisions and pursuing insurance claims or lawsuits. Outgoing Georgia Congressman Mike Collins introduced a bill proposing specific criminal penalties for people who stage collisions and other alleged participants.
