SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A woman whose husband and 4-year-old daughter were killed when a doghouse fell out of a man's truck and caused a highway pileup has filed a wrongful death lawsuit.

Alyssa Chambers filed last week seeking $300,000 in damages. She is suing the man who had the doghouse in his truck, a woman who rear-ended their car and the woman's employer since she was driving for her job.

In the August 2015 incident, authorities say the Chambers' car was stopped when the woman's vehicle smashed into them from behind, killing Ryan Chambers and Evelynn Chambers. Alyssa Chambers and her daughter survived.
