R&B Singer Angie Stone's Children Sue Truck Company for Her Death in Highway Crash
Stone's children allege negligence by drivers and faults in a collision mitigation system failed to prevent the crash that killed the Grammy-nominated singer, prompting a lawsuit for damages.
- On Tuesday, Stone's children Diamond Stone and Michael D'Angelo Archer filed a lawsuit in Lawrenceville, Georgia with survivor Sheila Hopkins seeking damages after Angie Stone died earlier this year when a tractor-trailer struck an overturned van.
- Around 4:25 a.m., as occupants tried to exit the overturned van, the suit alleges the 18-wheeler driven by Jared Wilkinson for CRST struck it at nearly 70 mph, with its collision mitigation system by Daimler Truck North America failing to detect the van or brake.
- The complaint says the impact ejected Angie Stone and pinned her beneath the van, where she 'consciously suffered' and later died, while Sheila Hopkins, injured survivor, endured serious injuries and trauma.
- The plaintiffs are suing multiple parties including the van driver, Jared Wilkinson, CRST, and Daimler Truck North America, seeking hospital bills, attorney fees, and damages while a criminal investigation is underway; defendants did not immediately respond Thursday.
- Angie Stone, Grammy-nominated singer and former member of The Sequence, left a decades-long musical legacy, while the lawsuit highlights alleged failure of the Detroit Assurance 5.0 collision mitigation system.
