Trucking Company Back In Business
KENTUCKY...
Federal records show that just days after being ordered to shut down, the trucking company involved in the fatal accident that killed 11 people was back in business with many of the same drivers and trucks.
A trucking industry newspaper called The Trucker is reporting that Hester Inc. of Fayette, Ala., was ordered off the road June 5 but resurfaced June 10 as FTS Fleet Services.
Hester's president had applied to operate the new company from the same location.
Truck driver Kenneth Laymon went across the median on I-65 near Munfordville on March 26, striking a van carrying Mennonites traveling to a wedding in Iowa. Ten people in the van as well as Laymon were killed.
