A lawsuit has been filed against the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) over the death of a truck driver whose big rig toppled over the side of the Bay Bridge last year. The suit claims the newly installed S-curve on the bridge where the accident happened “didn’t have adequate warning signs or other measures to alert drivers to the then-new roadway.” There were 43 documented accidents on that curve before the trucker’s death, the suit claimed. The family is seeking damages, including loss of income and future earnings, as well as funeral expenses.
