One of the victims in a fatal south Alabama crash has filed a lawsuit alleging negligence against the driver allegedly responsible for the accident.

The multi-vehicle accident occurred Tuesday morning in Thomasville when a semi-truck struck four vehicles sitting at a red light in the southbound lane on Highway 43.

The collision left two people dead and injured four others. The victims were identified as Ashley Marie Springer McDonald, 37, and Woodie Earl Beck III, 53.

Beck was an assistant football coach, head softball coach and a physical education teacher at Wilcox Academy in Camden.

There was an outpouring of condolences for Beck.

“He was loved by man and had a tremendous impact on the lives of young student-athletes,” according to a social media post from The Alabama Independent School Association.

Thomasville Mayor Sheldon Day in a Facebook post also asked for prayers for the families, as well as for first responders.

“Please say a special prayer for our firefighters, police officers, sheriff’s deputies, medics, and all who were on the scene,” Day wrote. “I have been a fireman for over 40 years. This is one of the worst accidents we have ever worked in the City of Thomasville during my career.”

The Thomasville Police Department arrested the driver of the truck, Andrii Dmyterko, 45, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dmyterko was subsequently charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter and is currently in the Clarke County Jail.

Nancy Calvert, a Tuscaloosa resident, was among the individuals injured and has now filed a lawsuit against Dymterko and his employers.

Filed in the Clarke County Circuit Court the lawsuit names 4 US Freight LLC, 4 US Transportation Company and 4 US Corporation as defendants along with Dymterko.

Efforts to reach the defendants were not immediately successful.

According to the lawsuit, Calvert was left with serious injuries after her red Nissan Rouge was hit by Dymterko’s truck.

“Following the impact, Calvert was left hanging upside down – strapped in by her seat belt and unable to extract herself from the vehicle,” the complaint says. “Calvert is fortunate to have been pulled from her vehicle by two bystanders, whom she views as heroes and wishes to be able to personally thank.

Shortly after being pulled from her Nissan Rouge, it caught fire and burned. Calvert is blessed to have survived. Calvert was transported by ambulance to Grove Hill Memorial Hospital where she received treatment with additional treatment to come.”

The lawsuit further alleges that Dymterko caused the crash by being, “distracted and/or inattentive and/or impaired.”

Dash cam video of the collision embedded in the lawsuit depicts the truck slamming into four vehicles at a red light. The truck appears to completely crush the first two vehicles before colliding with Calvert’s Nissan.

Calvert’s attorney, Josh Hayes, alleges that the video demonstrates Dymterko did not use brakes prior to the collision.

Widely circulated dash cam video of the crash shows no sign of the trucker applying his brakes before impact,” Hayes said, “We are committed to fully investigating this matter and are confident that all the facts will come out.”

The complaint says that Dymterko negligently breached his duty to follow Alabama’s rules of the road by not protecting other motorists or being as careful while driving.

Dymterko’s employers were also accused of negligence for not ensuring he was a “competent driver.”

Calvert is seeking compensatory and punitive damages as a result of the harm she suffered due to the defendants’ negligence.
