BALDWIN COUNTY, ALABAMA: A widow with two children has sued FedEx, claiming FedEx's use of defective tires caused the fiery collision that killed her husband Hamilton. Kelsie Platt, 28, of Baldwin County, Alabama, said she and her two children, ages eight and five, are tormented by Hamilton's death Sept. 21 after his car collided with a FedEx truck that blew a tire on the interstate.

Hamilton was burned alive in the collision, and the wreckage was posted on social media for Platt to find when she was worried about him getting home late, according to WPMI. "One of [the comment] was like, 'Yeah, someone's definitely dead in that car. The smell was horrible driving by.' It was hard to see that, but I still held out hope that he wasn't in there,"Platt stated.
