9th Circuit Overturns Jury Verdict in Favor of Defense in Fatal Tour Bus Crash
A federal appellate court on Friday overturned a take-nothing jury verdict in favor of a tour bus company whose driver was accused of causing a deadly head-on collision on an Arizona highway.
In a 2-1 decision, a panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the District Court had improperly allowed testimony about inadmissible comments made by an Arizona Highway Patrol officer during cross examination. The state trooper said the bus driver had done nothing improper, while the plaintiffs’ expert witness concluded the bus driver caused the collision by crossing into the oncoming traffic lane.
