Family of deceased car accident victim sues driver, North Texas Tollway Authority
The family of a Texas car accident victim has filed a lawsuit against both the driver who caused the accident as well as the North Texas Tollway Authority.
The lawsuit also names as defendants companies who performed engineering, construction and maintenance work on the tollway.
William Bond was killed when Christopher Spicer lost control of his vehicle and struck a median, which caused a large chunk of concrete to smash through the windshield of Bond’s car. Bond was killed instantly.
The accident took place on December 20, 2007. Bond was being driven home from a cancer treatment by his brother.
According to the attorney for the Bond family, the median that broke apart in the accident had been previously damaged but was patched instead of replaced.
A copy of the lawsuit indicates that no specific dollar amount is being sought by the Bond family.
Spicer was indicted for criminal negligent homicide, but the district attorney declined prosecution, saying the case was better handled in civil court.
