FORT WORTH, Texas - Weatherford City Manager Bill Davis and his wife Jackie have filed a lawsuit against the owner and driver of a tractor trailer and the owner of the farm vehicles involved in an April vehicle crash that left Mr. Davis seriously injured.

On April 24, Mr. and Mrs. Davis were driving north on Highway 144 near Granbury. A farm tractor and pickup truck traveling in the opposite direction pulled into traffic, causing other traffic to slow down. The driver of the tractor trailer then hit the back of a car with his tractor before his trailer jackknifed and skidded into oncoming traffic, striking the car driven by Mr. Davis.

Mr. Davis was transported to Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth with life-threatening injuries.

"Bill Davis suffered severe injuries simply because commercial and farm vehicle operators failed to do their jobs safely," says attorney John David Hart of the Law Offices of John David Hart in Fort Worth, who represents the Davis family along with Mac Smith of Vick, Carney & Smith L.L.P. in Weatherford.

Named as defendants in the lawsuit filed in Tarrant County District Court are Mr. Joplin and the owners of his truck, 3E Ranch and Gerald Edwards of Atoka County, Okla., and Tarrant County resident Clarence O. Turner. Also named is Lester M. Alberthal, owner of the Buzzard Hollow Ranch in Granbury. Mr. Alberthal owns the farm equipment and pickup truck involved in the accident.
