HOUSTON – A Harris County resident has filed a lawsuit against a Texas trucking company, claiming that after one of its drivers turned into his vehicle, they refused to provide identification and left the scene of the accident.
Plaintiff Neirelys Luis Diaz filed a federal lawsuit against Adelsa Trucking and an unknown employee, "John Doe," citing various allegations of negligence.
According to court documents, the plaintiff, a Harris County resident, claims that on March 13, 2023, he was in a vehicle collision with an unnamed Adelsa Trucking employee, "John Doe." Doe was allegedly operating a tractor-trailer within the scope of his employment when he collided with the plaintiff's vehicle.
