A wrongful-death and personal-injury lawsuit was filed against Amazon Logistics and other defendants over a June 4, 2023, collision on U.S. Highway 287 in Texas. The plaintiffs allege Amazon and the other defendants failed to address potential trucking safety risks before a tractor-trailer traveling in the wrong direction struck the couple’s vehicle. The crash killed Noah M. Leyman, an active-duty U.S. Air Force senior airman, and severely injured his wife, Jurnee Scott Leyman; the digest does not report a damages amount.
