Family will receive $165M-plus for I-10 crash that killed three El Pasoans

[TexasTowelie]

LAS CRUCES - The state Appeals Court this week reaffirmed a judgment of more than $165 million against FedEx over a 2011 crash west of Las Cruces that killed three El Pasoans and left a baby severely injured.

The lawsuit stemmed from a nighttime crash in which a FedEx-contracted big rig truck slammed into a parked or slow-moving GMC passenger truck at Mile 117 on Interstate 10 — about 20 miles west of Las Cruces.

Two of the three occupants in the pickup were killed: 22-year-old Marialy Venegas Morga and her 4-year-old daughter, Ylairam Morga, both of El Paso. Surviving was Venegas Morga's son, Yahir Morga, who was 1 at the time, according to Sun-News archives.

The driver of the contracted FedEx truck, El Pasoan Elizabeth Quintana, also died as a result.

1. For me, these cases ALWAYS come down to what corporate policies were in place and did those policies

lead to the incident.

Sometimes, an accident is just that.
And sometimes an incident is an accident waiting to happen.

These are different.
Motive matters.
