Family Forced to File Suit in Fatal DOT Truck Accident
In an effort to seek answers in the death of their loved one a Pittsburgh, PA family has had to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Charles Aymar, Jr., 63, died after the PennDOT plow truck crossed the center line and hit his van head-on in February. The family has heard nothing from investigator’s regarding their search for answers. The driver of the PennDOT plow truck told investigators he lost control during a snow squall. The Aymar family wants to know why the driver was not cited at the scene and was able to return to work three days after the accident. In an effort to seek answers the victim’s brother Dan Aymar, says, “No results. Nothing's happening. It seems like these people don't have to account for what they did. Where's the fairness at? You know, there's no fairness - let's be fair about the thing. I don't want the guy to get the electric chair, but I want him to pay.” State Police are nearing the end of the investigation and they will submit their final report to the District Attorney's office. At that point, the DA's office will review the case for possible criminal charges.
