Goodrich tire blew out causing the truck to swerve
into oncoming traffic. Six people were killed as a
result of the crash and a young boy was left
paralyzed. A jury ruled that a defective Michelin
tire played a substantial role in causing the
crash and that Michelin was liable for the
damages. Michelin was forced to pay $11.96 million
in wrongful death and injury damages.
