The parents of Dylan Taylor, an educator who died after being hit by a garbage truck, filed a lawsuit against the company responsible. The incident occurred on May 7 when Taylor, a paraeducator and sports coach, was biking in Atherton. The lawsuit alleges negligence in hiring and training practices at Green Waste Recovery, stating the driver lacked sufficient training for operating the truck. Taylor's family seeks accountability and better safety for their community through this legal action.
“We hope that there will be accountability for his life, a legacy to him in that these trucks will be more safe for our community,” their attorney Mary Alexander said during a press conference Wednesday.
“Dylan was a beloved son, brother, grandson, uncle and friend who was a coach, a mentor, an educator of children with special needs and so much more,” Kristry Roos-Taylor said.
The lawsuit states that the driver of the truck, Rogelio Espinosa Madriz, did not stop after he hit Taylor.
Green Waste Recovery has 'carelessly and negligently' managed the incident after Madriz hit Taylor, the lawsuit states.
