Second Suit Targets Tow Company in Deadly Crash

A second lawsuit has been filed against Sheffield Towing Service and its driver, Alfredo Campos, following a deadly 12-vehicle crash on May 8 in Northwest El Paso.

Alfredo Sifuentes, 54, of New Mexico, is seeking over $1 million in damages, claiming severe, permanent injuries from the wreck. The lawsuit alleges Campos and the company were negligent, failing to hire, train, and supervise safe drivers.

The crash occurred around 6:20 a.m. in El Paso. Campos, 28, was towing a broken-down semitruck when, for unknown reasons, he failed to stop at a red light. The tow truck slammed into vehicles at the intersection, igniting a fiery chain-reaction crash.

One person, Aldo Jenkins, a passenger in the tow truck, died in the crash. His family has also filed a lawsuit, stating Jenkins was burned alive in the wreck.

Sifuentes is represented by the law firm Tawney, Acosta & Chaparro. Campos has not been criminally charged. A jury trial has been requested, though no court date is set. Source: https://www.yahoo.com
