The family of a delivery driver who died last month when a tornado collapsed the Amazon warehouse in central Illinois where he worked has filed a wrongful death lawsuit.
McEwen's parents, Randy and Alice McEwen, allege that Amazon administrators knew severe weather was imminent but had no emergency plan nor evacuated employees from the fulfillment center.
Amazon "carelessly required individuals ... to continue working up until the moments before the tornado struck," the lawsuit says, and "improperly directed" McEwen and colleagues to shelter in a rest room, which it says the company knew or should have known wasn't safe.
