Walmart driver shot a random man in the head on state turnpike, retail giant is to blame for the road rage killing since driver was on the clock:

A federal judge in Pennsylvania is allowing a wrongful death lawsuit against Walmart over a road rage killing carried out by one of its truck drivers while he was on the clock to proceed.

"Plaintiff has alleged sufficient factual matter to state plausible claims for vicarious liability and negligent hiring, supervision, training, and retention," wrote U.S. District Court Judge John M. Gallagher in a ruling filed last week in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The father of victim Michael Alfonse sued the retail giant in June, claiming Walmart "failed to conduct an appropriate background check" on its driver, Ivan Hawkes, and "failed to maintain and enforce policies and procedures prohibiting their drivers from possessing and/or carrying firearms or other deadly weapons while on the job."

Hawkes died by suicide after gunning down Alfonse on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in May 2024, according to local ABC affiliate WPVI. He was driving a tractor-trailer when he and Alfonse, who was driving a flatbed truck, got into an altercation on the road that led to Hawkes opening fire.
