Farm Truck Accident

Harrisburg, IL: (Jan-02-08) Dr. Roger Herrin, representing his late son, Michael's estate, brought wrongful death charges against Brian and Robert Bramlet, owners of the vehicle that killed the boy. Records state that Michael Herrin of Harrisburg was killed June 14, 2001 when a 1981 Ford F-100 farm truck driven by Brian Bramlet traveling eastbound on Lone Oak Road failed to stop at the Illinois 34 intersection and struck the right passenger side of a 1998 Jeep Cherokee of which Herrin was a passenger. Sources claimed that both vehicles traveled off the northbound side of the roadway and into a ditch. Two unsecured passengers in the Jeep, including Herrin, were ejected from the vehicle. Herrin died as a result of injuries sustained.

As part of a settlement reached, Judge Ron Eckiss ruled in Saline County Circuit Court that Brian and Robert Bramlet pay the Herrin family $10 million in damages for the premature death of their 15-year-old son. Further, the Bramlets were ordered to pay medical and funeral expenses incurred by the family totaling more than $10,000. [THE SOUTHERN: FATAL ACCIDENT]
