In Newport News, Virginia, Monika and Mark Skinner filed a $35 million lawsuit after their 16-year-old son was in a car that drove off a road and plunged into a lake, resulting in his death. The defendants include the company that designed the road the car was traveling on, because it should have been further away from the lake; two engineering consulting firms that designed the lake that the car fell into; and K-Mart, which sold a computer cleaning product to the car's driver, which he and the Skinner boy inhaled to get high prior to the crash.
