Safety Questions Raised After Fatal Auto Auction Crash in Billerica

…Wrongful death attorney Doug Sheff raised questions about how close customers get to moving vehicles during the crowded events, noting the margin for error is slim if something goes wrong.

“How was the public protected from the moving vehicles?” Sheff asked. “Were there barriers set up that could’ve been a shield between the crowd and the moving vehicles? We don’t let pedestrians walk in the middle of traffic and we shouldn’t let them approach these vehicles moving by at any rate of speed.”
