ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) - June 9, 2009
Police say the container being hauled by 29-year-old Robert
Kostadinov, formerly of Columbus, Ohio, and now of Chicago,
exceeded the legal limit of 13 feet 6 inches when it struck the
overpass on Route 22 near Allentown on Nov. 18, 2008.
The SUV driver, 42-year-old Michelle LaMaze, of Whitehall
Township, died at the scene.
According to court records, Kostadinov did not know how high the
container was or how fast he was going.
LaMaze's family has filed a federal lawsuit against Kostadinov
and Vidov Trucking of Indiana.
