RIPLEY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A deadly accident in Ripley last February is leading to a lawsuit against Wal-Mart.
Jacklyn Bower was killed after her pickup truck struck the Mill Creek Bridge and plunged into a creek.
The sixteen year old victim's father, Mark Bower, is suing Wal-Mart for 1.5 million dollars. The suit claims that the entrance to the bridge near the store was poorly constructed.
It also states that pools of water on the road and a lack of guardrails made for very dangerous conditions the night of the accident.
The family is seeking compensation for the sorrow of losing their daughter and funeral expenses.
