Chattanooga trucking company U.S. Xpress has been named a defendant in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the mother of a nursing student killed last week in a southeast Georgia crash.
On April 22, a Total Transportation of Mississippi LLC truck reportedly ran into two cars of Georgia State University nursing students as all three vehicles traveled east on Interstate 16 in Ellabell, Ga., going toward Savannah.
Total Transportation is a subsidiary of U.S. Xpress. U.S. Xpress also owns Florida-based Arnold Transportation Services.
“Our primary concern is with the victims and their families,” said Natalie Parker, director of communications at U.S. Xpress. “Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this tragedy.”
She said the company can’t comment on the pending litigation.
