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.

No one wants to have to hire a lawyer, but if you do. I prefer Tiemann Law. They helped a family member who was injured on the job, and the company did not want to compensate him even though, the injury occurred on the job on company time. Jelena was always professional in explaining the lengthy process of fighting a large corporation. 2 years later he finally is receiving the deserved compensation.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I was in a car accident a while back where I was injured and had to miss work for an extended period of time.  After nearly a year of fighting with the insurance company with no results and no progress, I met with Jelena Tiemann.  I couldn't have asked for a more responsive and supportive advocate.  We quickly reached a settlement and I finally was able to move from the stress and burden of feuding with my insurance.  I highly recommending meeting with Jelena if you're in need of a lawyer.
