Parents sue tire company

WEST PALM BEACH - (AP) -- The parents of two young women killed in a head-on collision on Florida's Turnpike are suing Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, alleging the company's tire caused a Thanksgiving 2004 wreck that left six dead.

The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, seeks more than $15,000 in the deaths of Michelle Seville, 23, and Marsha Seville, 18.

Attorney Lance Ivey, representing Pauline and Michael Seville, said the accident was caused by a bad Cooper Trendsetter SE tire.

''When the heat builds up, molecules in the rubber start breaking down, and you start getting internal tread separation,'' Ivey said. ``It just peels off similar to a banana peeling.''

Cooper officials did not immediately return a telephone call Wednesday.

The Seville girls and 23-year-old Eustacia Callendar, of Miami, were returning to Tallahassee from a Thanksgiving trip to West Palm Beach when their Toyota Corolla crossed a median and collided head-on with a Honda sedan.

Killed in the other car were Valerie Lynch, 40, her husband, Edward Nathan Lynch, 48, and their 7-month-old nephew Jordan Cabrera.

The stretch of highway where the accident occurred had no barrier, but median guardrails have since been installed.
