Woman sues Weather Channel over storm chaser son’s death
A mother is suing The Weather Channel for $125 million over the death of her son, who was killed in a crash with storm chasers who worked for the cable network.
Karen Di Piazza alleges Kelley Williamson and Randall Yarnall , who had a show called ” Storm Wranglers, ” ran a stop sign on a road southeast of Lubbock in March 2017 as they were chasing a tornado.
The lawsuit claims the pair collided with a vehicle driven by Di Piazza’s son, 25-year-old storm chaser Corbin Lee Jaeger.
The suit, filed Tuesday in federal court in Lubbock, contends that the network knew of the reckless driving habits of Williamson and Yarnall , who also died in the crash.
The Weather Channel said in a statement that it can’t comment on pending litigation.
