Topic: Wrongful Death

A Fresno court has handed the parents of two young girls who were killed in a truck accident a total of nearly $9 million in damages, the Fresno Bee reported.

The accident occurred in 2006, when a concrete pumper truck that belonged to the Brundage Bone Concrete Pumping Company rear-ended the family's car which was stopped for a disabled car on Highway 41 in Madera County.

The two girls 7-year-old Korren Radke and 2-year-old Chloe Baker died in the accident, which also caused their car to crash into another car in a chain reaction. Chloe's parents were awarded $7.5 million. Amber Allen Baker was the mother of Korren Radke. Her father received $1.46 million. The woman who was in the third car involved in the accident received $75,000.

The California Highway Patrol said the truck driver was speeding and failed to slow down when he turned the corner leading to the accident.
