Hatfield’s truck went off the roadway, struck the two workers and knocked down numerous metal fence posts before coming to rest about 100 yards from the initial impact point, investigators said.

Hatfield, 50, sustained a minor head wound. Criminal charges are pending against him, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

The lawsuit states it will rely on “all of the evidence, as it comes in, to make a full, fair and accurate determination as to the exact form of negligence.”

The complaint alleges Hatfield was speeding and failed to have the truck under control.
