In September of 2008, 41-year-old Rhonda Kay Henson was killed after a piece of oil field equipment fell off of a passing tractor-trailer, crushing the driver’s side of her car.

Henson’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver of the tractor-trailer, Daniel Armstrong, 21. The suit also names the company for which Armstrong worked, Pioneer Drilling Company, as a defendant. The suit alleges that both defendants were negligent.

Testimony in the trial began Tuesday in the 413^th District Court in Cleburne, Texas.

The 15-ton piece of equipment was secured with only two chains, while state and federal laws require four. Because the equipment was not properly secured, says the family’s lawyer, it slid around until it eventually fell from the truck onto Henson’s Ford Explorer.

Also, according to the plaintiffs’ attorney, Armstrong had a suspended license and was not qualified to drive the tractor-trailer. His records, the attorney says, were forged and fabricated by other employees of the company.

Henson’s husband, Thomas Henson, was riding in the passenger seat at the time of the accident. He was not seriously injured.
