Marcia Rhodes sued Carlo Zalewski and his employer, GAF Materials Corporation, for the spinal cord injury that she sustained when the 78,000-pound truck that Zalewski was driving hit her car while it was stopped on Route 109 in Medway. Rhodes, age 46, was on her way to an antique shop on January 9, 2002, when she was stopped by a Medway police officer because of some work being performed on the road. The truck being driving by Zalewski was loaded with liquid asphalt. It slammed into the rear of Rhodes' car. She was left paralyzed from the waste down.
