SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – A second passenger has sued the Greyhound bus company and a driver who authorities say fell asleep before the bus careened off a road in the Utah desert two years ago, killing one person and injured 12 others.
Clemente Velazquez of Rogers, Arkansas, says in a lawsuit filed in July that he’s incurred more than $75,000 in damages from medical bills and lost wages after he suffered neck and back injuries and has been psychologically traumatized by the crash New Year’s Eve 2017.
Like the previous lawsuit filed in May, the complaint alleges the bus driver was tired and sick and should have been replaced with a substitute driver.
Attorneys for Greyhound Lines Inc. and driver Charles E. Saunders, of Nevada, have denied that allegation in court filings this month in the two cases.
