The widow of one of four military veterans killed when their parade float was struck by a train at a Midland railroad crossing has filed a wrongful death suit. Catherine Stouffer, the wife of 37-year-old Gary Stouffer Jr., is seeking unspecified damages.
It is the second lawsuit filed since a train struck a flatbed truck that was part of a Midland parade honoring wounded vets and their wives.
Among the suit's assertions is that Union Pacific was negligent for failing to maintain a safe crossing.
