The widow of a man who died after being severely burned in a tractor-trailer collision on Interstate 78 has been awarded a verdict of $2.4 million in a non-jury proceeding before a federal judge in the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

Leatha Deener-Burks won summary judgment in November after the defendants, Sukhwinder Singh and the trucking company for which he worked, failed to file a brief in opposition to Deener-Burks’ motion, which was made in September. The verdict in Deener-Burks v. Singh was issued after the court held a non-jury assessment of damages in December.
