  "summary": "This lawsuit challenges Amazon's carrier selection and oversight practices following a crash in New Mexico that injured three people. Amazon's Prime trailer was hauled by Road Warriors Logistic, a trucking company that had lost its operating authority in May 2022 but was reinstated in May 2024. The plaintiffs claim that Amazon allowed Road Warriors to transport freight before the carrier met Amazon's requirement for 180 days of active operating authority, despite safety violations and another crash occurring less than a month before the collision. The amended complaint alleges that Amazon failed to follow the standard it had set for itself, leading to the careless driving citation of Road Warriors' driver, Harmanpreet Singh, who lost control of his tractor and collided with other vehicles.",
