Plaintiffs
V. CIVIL ACTION - LAW
NEW ENTERPRISE STONE & LIME
COMPANY, INC.,
Defendant JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
COMPLAINT
1. The Plaintiffs, Clair S. Stum and Shirley M. Sum, are Co-Administrators of the
Estate of Timothy Stum, deceased, and the parents of said Timothy Stum.
2. The Defendant New Enterprise Stone & Lime Company, Inc., (hereinafter
Defendant New Enterprise) is a corporation organized under the law of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania with its principle place of business in New Enterprise, Pennsylvania.
3. Defendant New Enterprise had entered into a contract with the Pennsylvania
Turnpike Commission to perform work on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, including at or near mile
marker 214. 1, in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
4. As part of its contractual obligations, Defendant New Enterprise was to widen the
turnpike from two to three travel lanes eastbound.
5. It was also intended that the eastbound travel lanes be bounded by a paved berm.
6. Prior to May 13, 2009, Defendant New Enterprise had created new paved lanes
along the turnpike eastbound at mile marker 214.1 to the south of the original eastbound travel
lanes.
7. Defendant New Enterprise installed a concrete barrier dividing the new
construction from the original travel lanes, but with an opening near mile marker 214.1 so that
authorized traffic could travel between the original eastbound travel lanes and new construction.
8. Public traffic was not allowed to travel in the new construction area of the
turnpike eastbound near mile marker 214.1 while construction proceeded.
9. At or near mile marker 214.1, there is also a service road south of the new
construction which authorized construction vehicles could utilize.
10. Service roads were set up south of the new construction at different intervals
along the east bound lanes while construction proceeded.
11. Access to the service roads was controlled by security guards employed by St.
Moritz Security Services, Inc.
12. On May 13, 2009, at or near 6:00 p.m., Plaintiffs' decedent, Timothy Stum,
signed in as a security guard employed by St. Moritz. He signed out at approximately 6:00 a.m.
on May 14 after completing his shift.
13. Timothy Stum would drive to and from the sign in location via local roads, not by
utilizing the turnpike.
14. During the morning hours of May 14, 2009, Defendant New Enterprise rerouted
eastbound traffic onto the area of new construction, and closed the original eastbound lanes to
traffic.
15. The new construction lanes were comprised of paved asphalt with a 32 inch high
concrete barrier along the left lane.
16. There was no left lane shoulder on May 14, 2009.
2
17. The left lane measured 11 feet, 1 inch and the right lane measured 10 feet, 4
inches.
18. There was no right lane shoulder in the area west of the service road at mile
marker 214.1 and a small shoulder measuring 4 feet, 7 inches east of the service road.
19. Following the shift in lanes, accessing the original eastbound lanes of travel
required crossing the new construction, now open to public traffic.
20. A crossing guard platform was in place on the inside of the left concrete barrier,
but crossing guards did not begin their shifts until 7:00 a.m.
21. At about 5:45 a.m. on the morning of May 16, 2009, Timothy Stum, utilizing
back roads, left to work his shift for St. Moritz Security Services.
22. On that day, he signed in at approximately 6:15 a.m. and started to travel to mile
marker 217.1 where he would guard the access gate.
23. In order to travel to mile marker 217. 1, Timothy Stum utilized the service road at
mile marker 214.1 and traveled to its perpendicular intersection with the eastbound lanes of the
Pennsylvania Turnpike.
24. Mr. Stum turned right onto what he believed to be the closed new construction
area of the turnpike.
25. Mr. Stum was not told by anyone that the new construction area had become two
lanes of eastbound travel open to the public.
26. There were no signs, warnings, postings, traffic control devices, or anything else
which would have indicated to Mr. Stum, on that morning, that the new construction area had
been turned into two lanes of eastbound travel open to the public.
3
27. Because it was only between 6:15 and 6:30 in the morning, no crossing guard was
yet on duty who could have indicated to Mr. Stum that the new construction area had opened to
traffic.
28. In addition, Mr. Stum's view of traffic approaching from his left would have been
impeded by a dirt mound that was not removed until a day or two later.
29. Mr. Stum executed his right hand turn onto the newly opened eastbound lanes of
the Pennsylvania Turnpike and his vehicle was struck by a tractor trailer on the driver's side of
the Stum car.
30. Following the accident, Timothy Stum was pronounced deceased.
31. Traffic flow would have been very light on the date and at the time of the crash.
32. The concrete barrier separating the open closed areas of the Pennsylvania
Turnpike was relatively low, and this would have made it difficult for the driver looking west to
determine whether approaching traffic was traveling along the original travel lanes of the
turnpike, or the new construction.
33. All of Plaintiffs' damages, as hereinafter related, are the direct and proximate
result of the negligence of Defendant New Enterprise Stone & Lime Company, Inc. in that it,
acting through its agents and employees:
1. Failed to verbally notify Mr. Stum prior to the commencement of
his shift on May 16, 2009 that the new construction areas of the eastbound travel
lanes had been open to public traffic.
2. Failed to notify Mr. Stum in writing, or by any other method, that
the new construction lanes near mile marker 214 had been opened to public traffic.
3. Failed to post any sign, writing, warning, traffic control device, or
4
any other thing at or near the intersection of the service road at mile marker 214.1
that the new construction area had been opened to public traffic.
4. Failed to post an appropriate warning at any other location
calculated to alert Mr. Stum to the shift in lanes.
5. Permitted a mound of dirt to rest near the intersection of the mile
marker 214.1 service road and the now open new construction lanes of the
Pennsylvania eastbound turnpike when Defendant and its employees knew,
or should have known, that the mound of dirt would hinder visibility to the
west, thereby making it more difficult to visualize oncoming traffic.
6. Utilized a low-standing concrete barrier between the open
and closed portions of the Pennsylvania Turnpike eastbound near mile
marker 214. 1, making it difficult for anyone turning east onto the newly
opened lanes to tell whether eastbound traffic was actually situated in the
original lanes or the newly constructed lanes.

could travel as necessary within the construction zone.
8. Denied. It is denied that public traffic was not allowed to travel in the new
construction area of the turnpike eastbound near mile marker 214.1 while construction
proceeded. To the contrary, public traffic travelled through the construction area of the turnpike

travel lanes designated for that purpose, with appropriate signage and markings, in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the contract with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission.

would be required to cross the new eastbound lanes, now open to public traffic.
