From the historic, public settlement with the trucking company and a bizarre confrontation with its driver to one father's ongoing and, more recently, frustrating fight on Capitol Hill for safer roads, the Slattery's story is a revealing, emotional look at the rapidly growing danger we all face from the passing lane each and every day.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Brian Kuebler is an award winning investigative journalist for WMAR-TV in Baltimore, Maryland.
