Families of four victims killed in the Kobe Bryant crash have joined the NBA legend’s widow in filing wrongful death lawsuits against the helicopter company, a report said.
Former college baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife Keri and their daughter Alyssa, who played basketball with Gianna Bryant, along with girls’ basketball coach Christina Mauser, were on their way to Bryant’s basketball facility for the 13-year-old hoopsters’ game when the chopper crashed Jan. 26 in Calabasas, Calif., killing all nine onboard.
The Altobelli and Mauser families claim Island Express “negligently and carelessly breached its duty to own, lease, manage, maintain, control, entrust, charter and operate the helicopter in question in a reasonable manner,” TMZ reported, citing court documents. (Text and photo courtesy NYPost)
