WILLIAMSON – Kirk Trucking Co. Inc. is suing the West Virginia Department of Transportation-Division of Highways after the company claims the DOH is responsible for a car accident.
John W. Thompson and Brian L. Adkins, employees of the DOH, were also named as defendants in the suit.
On Feb. 14, 2014, John L. Kirk, an employee of Kirk Trucking, was operating a 2012 Peterbilt on W.Va. 65 when Thompson, who was operating a 2012 Mack 700G, failed to counteract the existing poor roadway surface conditions and failed to maintain control of his vehicle and slid from the southbound lane of W.Va. 65 into the northbound lane, according to a complaint filed Jan. 20 in Mingo Circuit Court.
