Lawsuits filed in Fall River tunnel accident

Mr. Cunha said Joao Medeiros was in his car with his wife, Beatrice, and their two children, Sarah and Amanda, when the concrete slabs fell from the roof.

"The two-ton slab fell directly in front of their car and missed it by inches," said Mr. Cunha. "The car catapulted over it, end over end. It went over and landed on the roof, facing the opposite way on Route 195."
