FedEx trucking accident caused deadly collision with tour bus near Sacramento

After a long CHP truck accident investigation it has been determined that the driver of a FedEx tractor-trailer veered off the highway and through the center divider which led to the head on collision with a tour bus full of high school students. Unfortunately the CHP reported that they could not figure out why the FedEx driver, Timothy Paul Evans, sent his tractor-trailer across the center divider and into the path of the tour bus. Ten people died in this trucking accident near Sacramento including Evans and high school students.

CHP spokesperson stated that “The truck went across in a shallow angle and didn’t deviate from that path. There were no evasive maneuvers, no brakes, no turning movements, to veer from the path.” Fedex representatives could not comment at this time due to another investigation currently taking place.

“Our heartfelt sympathy remains with everyone affected by this accident. FedEx Freight cooperated fully with federal and state agencies during their respective investigations, and will carefully review the CHP truck accident report,” FedEx said in a written statement.

One of the bus accident victim attorney’s stated the the bus driver, Talalelei Lealao-Taiao, of Sacramento, really loved her job. They also went on stating that there was no way to avoid the accident. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The CHP report showed that Talalelei had attempted to avoid a collision with the tractor-trailer but the bus accident happened too fast.

The FedEx tractor-trailer was returning to Sacramento with 2 trailers when the accident happened. Truck accident investigators in Sacramento may never figure out exactly what caused the FedEx driver to steer his tractor-trailer into the path of the on-coming bus because most of the critical evidence was lost in the fire that resulted from the bus accident.

As a result of the truck accident near Sacramento there has been over 35 lawsuits filed against FedEx and Silverado Stages tour bus company. A Sacramento truck accident attorney expects all crash claims to be heard in a single court case soon.

The Sacramento truck and bus accident attorneys at the Tiemann Law Firm are monitoring the crash investigation and will report any new information as it breaks.

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
