Lawsuit Filed in Plane Crash that Killed Sports Reporter
/
Back in December, FTVLive told you that WDSU Sports Reporter Carley McCord was killed in a plane crash Saturday while flying in a private plane from Lafayette to the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.
Now, her husband has filed a lawsuit in regards to the crash.
Steven Ensminger Jr has sued the aircraft’s owners and insurers, as well as the pilot’s estate. He is seeking seeking unspecified damages for the death of his wife, Carley.
Ensminger’s suit alleges the owners of the plane, Global Data Systems Inc., Cheyenne Partners LLC., Eagle Air LLC. and Southern Lifestyle Development Company LLC., failed to properly inspect and maintain it, and were negligent in letting the pilot, Ian Biggs, fly in non-ideal conditions without proper training, news outlets reported, citing the lawsuit. Biggs died in the crash.
