A Georgia man was recently convicted for his role in resurrecting a motor carrier that had been ordered to stop operating.
In October 2008, a truck operated by Georgia-based Lewis Trucking Company was involved in a fatal wreck in Alabama on U.S. 82. The truck, which was hauling wood, reportedly crashed head-on with a passenger van hauling state prisoners from one correctional facility to another. Six prisoners and a correctional employee died in the wreck.
Lewis Trucking Co. was ordered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to cease all operations after a compliance review uncovered “serious violations” following the crash, a news release states.
