FedEx Faces Wyoming Suits After Trucks Kill Nearby Drivers

Two lawsuits have been filed against FedEx Ground Package Systems claiming the shipping giant substantially contributed to the deaths of Cheyenne, Wyo., residents.

The families of two people who died in a head-on collision on I-80 east of Cheyenne claim FedEx is responsible for the crash.

The pair died in November when a FedEx tractor-trailer veered through the median into oncoming traffic, striking their minivan. Both plaintiffs are seeking more than $75,000 in damages.

A FedEx spokesman said thoughts and condolences go out to the families.
