Case Details
Jimmy Bogue, driving his SUV, was hit and killed by a coal truck that was going 70 mph in a 35 mph zone and overweighted above the legal limit. It was proven that over 300 coal trucks a day, many overloaded, use the back roads of West Jefferson County to dodge the State weight scales. The legal limit of weight was 88,000 pounds on a five-axle truck and the 750% trucks overweighed by 2,500 pounds on average. The jury returned a $20 million verdict.
