The family of an English tourist who was killed by a garbage truck has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver and his employer, Newark-based Action Carting Environmental Services Inc. The suit seeks unspecified damages.

Her companion, also in the vehicle – was killed in the accident. They lived together just outside of London.
The driver has pleaded not guilty to charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
