The families of four Texas women are seeking more than $1 million in damages in a wrongful death lawsuit filed late last month against San Antonio-based H-E-B.<\/p>\n

The suit, filed in Bexar County District Court, maintains the operator of a tractor-trailer that stuck the women\u2019s vehicle was driving at a reckless speed. The truck was hauling a load of potatoes for H-E-B, according to allegations in the legal filing.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 5, Lakeisha Brown, 19; Myunique Johnson, 20; Taylor White, 27; and Breanna Brantley, 30, were traveling south on U.S. Highway 87 in the Texas panhandle just south of Dalhart when an 18-wheeler driven by 39-year-old Guadalupe Daniel Villarreal rear-ended the women\u2019s Nissan Altima. The impact caused the car to spin 180 degrees, killing all four inside, the complaint alleges. <\/p>\n

Johnson, who was driving the Nissan, slowed and turned on her hazards after getting a flat tire. However, Villarreal was \u201cdriving fast, inattentively, and failed to control his speed,\u201d which led to the collision, according to the suit. <\/p>\n

In addition to H-E-B and Villarreal, the suit names Parkway Transport Inc. and Scrappy Trucking LLC as defendants.<\/p>\n

The victims\u2019 families are seeking damages for mental anguish, pecuniary losses, funeral expenses and loss of companionship.<\/p>\n
