Louisville Fires Crew Over Tyrah Adams Tragedy | Louisville News

from Louisville News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Two Louisville DPW employees and their supervisor were fired after a tragic February incident in which a dump truck claw accidentally lifted sleeping teen Tyrah Adams, leading to her death. The crew violated safety and public respect policies, and another member retired before facing termination. Though no criminal charges were pursued, Mayor Greenberg called it a “tragic accident” and criticized the crew’s failure to call 911. The city is now overhauling waste operations with new training and policy reviews, while Adams’ family presses forward with a wrongful death lawsuit seeking accountability.
