Hi , This is probaly a stupid question, but my dad passed away July 29th, in Conroe , Tx. He spent most of hus time on the road. I guess I am just wondering if anyone knew him. His name was Jack barrington. I don't know his handle cause he changed it ALL the time. I will post obit with picture, and if anyone out there knew him , I would love to hear from you , or you can leave a message for my mom on the link of the obituary.
He worked for KLLM Transport out of Jackson, Missisippi, but was from Conroe Texas. He left the house to go pick up his load in Houston, drove less than 10 miles, had a heart attck, managed to get the rig off the freeway , without hitting any other vehicles during rush hour morning traffic. He hit a light pole off the service road, jack knifed the rig, but had no injurys from the wreck. They said he was dead before he hit the pole. I don't know how they can tell these things. He had no prior heart problems at all.
Also does anyone know if my mother is eligable for workers compensation since he died in the rig on company time?
