<p><em>斯蒂芬斯律师事务所：非法双重经纪使未经培训的司机驾驶未经授权的 18 轮卡车</em></p>
<p>, /PRNewswire/ -- 北德克萨斯快递 TEXpress 收费公路的所有者和运营商已与一位年轻母亲的家属达成和解，该母亲在 2021 年 2 月的一场冰风暴中，其车辆在 35W 州际公路上的多车相撞中被一辆 18 轮卡车压毁，导致她不幸去世。</p>
<p>2025 年 4 月 15 日，Cintra US 及其子公司和相关方达成的保密和解为 2025 年 7 月 21 日涉及联邦快递公司及其他卡车和运输行业被告的审判铺平了道路。根据诉讼，他们的行为使一名未经培训的司机驾驶一辆未经授权的拖车，以高速冲入了事故现场。这是美国汽车历史上最严重的多车相撞之一，事故发生在一场广泛预测的冰风暴中，涉及超过 130 辆车辆。</p>
<p>和解由斯蒂芬斯律师事务所的沃斯堡律师杰森·斯蒂芬斯宣布，他是与此次事故相关的合并诉讼的负责人。斯蒂芬斯先生代表蒂芙尼·杰雷德的家属，蒂芙尼在试图逃离残骸时，她的车辆被一辆联邦快递卡车压毁而不幸去世。她的审判将是首个由陪审团审理的案件。</p>
<p>斯蒂芬斯先生表示：“杰雷德家族和我非常高兴能够解决案件的这一部分。虽然我们认为收费公路在这场悲剧中确实起了一定作用，但毫无疑问，正是那辆 18 轮卡车导致了蒂芙尼的死亡。那天有六人遇难，所有六人都是被不该在路上的 18 轮卡车撞击的，他们的行驶速度显然也超过了冰冷天气的安全限制。”</p>
<p>斯蒂芬斯补充道：“毫无疑问，如果不是那辆在她试图打开车门逃生时追尾的 18 轮卡车，蒂芙尼今天一定会在这里——她会和她的家人、女儿、父母以及她的四个兄弟在一起。”</p>
<p>这起诉讼揭示了一个普遍但被禁止的卡车行业做法，即双重经纪，其中一家卡车公司合同运输货物，然后将货物分包给另一家运输公司。这种被禁止的做法通常导致未经审查、不安全的运输公司和不合格的司机运输货物。</p>
<p>诉讼中的宣誓证词揭示了：</p>
<ul>
<li>联邦快递缺乏程序来验证提货司机是否获得联邦快递的授权和批准，车辆是否具有有效的 DOT 编号，或者司机是否是安全驾驶者，甚至是否持有合法的商业驾驶执照。联邦快递出发地的安全经理证实，该公司的缺乏监督不仅构成公共安全风险，还构成国家安全威胁。</li>
<li>这名卡车司机是一名海地国籍的司机，在两个月前的冰冷天气中曾驾驶另一辆 18 轮卡车发生过事故。他为西蒙快递工作，该公司与一名讲俄语的乌兹别克斯坦人有关联，并在乌兹别克斯坦远程操作，使用假名在法律文件上。该公司伪造了司机的路试和日志，并因不安全驾驶而最近受到 FMCSA 的警告。</li>
<li>这辆 18 轮卡车的司机在忽视了五个巨型广告牌警告 “存在冰冷天气” 的情况下，以超过 65 英里每小时的速度行驶，最终撞上了蒂芙尼·杰雷德的小型乘用车。</li>

联邦快递

<p>北德克萨斯快线 TEXpress 收费公路运营商已与蒂芙尼·杰雷德的家属达成和解。蒂芙尼在 2021 年的冰风暴堆车事故中遇难，涉及超过 130 辆车辆。此次保密和解为 2025 年 7 月 21 日对联邦快递及其他被告的审判铺平了道路。该诉讼突显了卡车运输行业中非法双重经纪的问题，这导致一名未经培训的司机驾驶未经授权的卡车。此案引发了对联邦快递监管及与不合格司机相关的公共安全风险的担忧</p>

<p><em>Stephens Law: Illegal double-brokering placed untrained driver behind wheel of unauthorized 18-wheeler</em></p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p><em>斯蒂芬斯律师事务所：非法双重经纪使未经培训的司机驾驶未经授权的 18 轮卡车</em></p>
</div><p>, /PRNewswire/ -- The owner and operator of the North Texas Express TEXpress tollway has reached a settlement with the family of a young mother who died when her vehicle was crushed by an 18-wheeler in a multi-vehicle pileup on Interstate 35W during a February 2021 ice storm.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>, /PRNewswire/ -- 北德克萨斯快递 TEXpress 收费公路的所有者和运营商已与一位年轻母亲的家属达成和解，该母亲在 2021 年 2 月的一场冰风暴中，其车辆在 35W 州际公路上的多车相撞中被一辆 18 轮卡车压毁，导致她不幸去世。</p>
</div><p>The April 15, 2025, confidential settlement by Cintra US and its subsidiaries and related parties clears the way for a July 21, 2025, trial involving FedEx Corp. and other trucking and transportation industry defendants. According to the lawsuit, their actions placed an untrained driver behind the wheel of an unauthorized tractor trailer that plowed into the pileup at highway speed. One of the worst pileups in U.S. automotive history, the crash occurred during a widely predicted ice storm and involved more than 130 vehicles.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>2025 年 4 月 15 日，Cintra US 及其子公司和相关方达成的保密和解为 2025 年 7 月 21 日涉及联邦快递公司及其他卡车和运输行业被告的审判铺平了道路。根据诉讼，他们的行为使一名未经培训的司机驾驶一辆未经授权的拖车，以高速冲入了事故现场。这是美国汽车历史上最严重的多车相撞之一，事故发生在一场广泛预测的冰风暴中，涉及超过 130 辆车辆。</p>
</div><p>The settlement was announced by Fort Worth attorney Jason Stephens of Stephens Law, who is a leader of the consolidated lawsuits related to the pileup. Mr. Stephens represents the family of Tiffany Gerred, who died when her vehicle was crushed by a FedEx truck as she tried to escape from the wreckage. Her July 21 trial will be the first to be heard by a jury.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>和解由斯蒂芬斯律师事务所的沃斯堡律师杰森·斯蒂芬斯宣布，他是与此次事故相关的合并诉讼的负责人。斯蒂芬斯先生代表蒂芙尼·杰雷德的家属，蒂芙尼在试图逃离残骸时，她的车辆被一辆联邦快递卡车压毁而不幸去世。她的审判将是首个由陪审团审理的案件。</p>
</div><p>&#34;The Gerred family and I are very pleased to have resolved this part of the case,&#34; said Mr. Stephens. &#34;While we believe the Toll Road certainly played a part in this tragedy, there is no question that the 18-wheeler is what killed Tiffany. Six people died that day and all six were hit by 18-wheelers who simply should not have been on the road and were certainly traveling too fast for the icy conditions.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>斯蒂芬斯先生表示：“杰雷德家族和我非常高兴能够解决案件的这一部分。虽然我们认为收费公路在这场悲剧中确实起了一定作用，但毫无疑问，正是那辆 18 轮卡车导致了蒂芙尼的死亡。那天有六人遇难，所有六人都是被不该在路上的 18 轮卡车撞击的，他们的行驶速度显然也超过了冰冷天气的安全限制。”</p>
</div><p>Stephens added, &#34;There is zero doubt that Tiffany would be here today — she would be here with her family, with her daughter, with her parents and her four brothers — but for the fact of that 18-wheeler that rear-ended her as she was literally attempting to open the door of her vehicle to get out to escape.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>斯蒂芬斯补充道：“毫无疑问，如果不是那辆在她试图打开车门逃生时追尾的 18 轮卡车，蒂芙尼今天一定会在这里——她会和她的家人、女儿、父母以及她的四个兄弟在一起。”</p>
</div><p>The lawsuit is shining a light on a prolific but prohibited trucking industry practice known as double-brokering in which one trucking company contracts to haul a load and then subcontracts the load to another motor carrier. This prohibited practice often results in unvetted, unsafe motor carriers and unqualified drivers hauling the loads.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>这起诉讼揭示了一个普遍但被禁止的卡车行业做法，即双重经纪，其中一家卡车公司合同运输货物，然后将货物分包给另一家运输公司。这种被禁止的做法通常导致未经审查、不安全的运输公司和不合格的司机运输货物。</p>
</div><p>Sworn deposition testimony from the lawsuit has revealed:</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>诉讼中的宣誓证词揭示了：</p>
</div><ul>
<li>FedEx lacked procedures to verify whether a truck driver picking up a load was authorized and approved by FedEx, whether the vehicle had a valid DOT number, or whether the driver was a safe driver or even had a legitimate commercial driver's license. A security manager for FedEx's Hub where the trip originated testified that the company's lack of oversight poses not just a public safety risk but a national security threat.</li>
<li>The truck driver, a Haitian national, had crashed another 18-wheeler in icy conditions just two months earlier. He worked for Simon Express, a carrier linked to a Russian-speaking Uzbekistani and operated remotely from Uzbekistan using fake names on legal documents. The company falsified the driver's road test and logs and had been recently warned by the FMCSA for unsafe driving.</li>
<li>The driver of the 18-wheeler was traveling more than 65 miles per hour after ignoring five billboard-sized signs warning that &#34;Icy Conditions Exist&#34; in the five miles prior to slamming into Tiffany Gerred's small passenger car.</li>
</ul>
<div class="lb-trans"><ul>
<li>联邦快递缺乏程序来验证提货司机是否获得联邦快递的授权和批准，车辆是否具有有效的 DOT 编号，或者司机是否是安全驾驶者，甚至是否持有合法的商业驾驶执照。联邦快递出发地的安全经理证实，该公司的缺乏监督不仅构成公共安全风险，还构成国家安全威胁。</li>
<li>这名卡车司机是一名海地国籍的司机，在两个月前的冰冷天气中曾驾驶另一辆 18 轮卡车发生过事故。他为西蒙快递工作，该公司与一名讲俄语的乌兹别克斯坦人有关联，并在乌兹别克斯坦远程操作，使用假名在法律文件上。该公司伪造了司机的路试和日志，并因不安全驾驶而最近受到 FMCSA 的警告。</li>
