Lone Star Wheel Components Inc.
Corsicana, TX: (Aug-16-07) The family of Elizabeth Brook McCullough, a 24-year-old registered nurse at Providence Home Health Care, filed a lawsuit against Lone Star Wheel Components Inc., a Corsicana-based trucking company, after McCullough died in a collision with one of their tractor-trailer rigs. McCullough died May 7, 2007 on her way to see a patient. Her 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier was struck by a tractor-trailer rig from Lone Star Wheel Components on State Highway 31 near Mount Calm.
In a settlement reached, Lone Star Wheel Components agreed to pay McCullough's husband, John; the couple's 4-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son; and her parents, Randy and Linda Mitchell, $5.75 million to end the wrongful death lawsuit. According to the terms of the settlement, John McCullough, a medical equipment technician from Waco, will receive $1.8 million. The parties agreed to set aside $500,000 for each young child, to be used for structured annuities designed to pay them about $6 million during the course of their expected lifetimes beginning when they reach college age. Randy and Linda Mitchell, who will help McCullough raise their grandchildren, each will receive $507,413. The remainder went for attorneys' fees and costs to hire an accident reconstruction expert and other expenses. [WACO TRIBUNE: TRUCKING ACCIDENT]
