In the dark early hours of December 16, 2022, tragedy struck on Interstate 64. A Triton Freightliner, barreling down the highway, rear-ended a shuttle bus returning to Hampton Roads from Richmond. The collision claimed the lives of three innocent passengers: Montia “Tia” Bouie, Jontae Russell, and Xzavier Evans. The aftermath of this horrific incident has now unraveled a web of deceit and manipulation within Triton Logistics, as revealed by a former driver, Dwayne Sykes.


Sykes, who had been a driver for Triton for two years until early December 2022, found himself unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight when his name surfaced in connection with the crash. However, he vehemently denies any involvement, stating that he had severed ties with Triton eight days prior to the tragic event. What ensued was a disturbing revelation of how Triton Logistics allegedly manipulated logs and concocted cover stories to evade accountability.


In a recent interview, Sykes bravely stepped forward to shed light on the deceptive practices rampant within Triton. He recounted receiving a perplexing call from state police in the middle of the night, inquiring about his supposed presence at the scene of the crash. It became evident that his identity had been exploited, with Triton allegedly fabricating his involvement to deflect blame.


According to Sykes, Triton had a systematic method of altering electronic logs, manipulating data to create the illusion of compliance with regulations. This revelation resonates with the testimony of the actual driver involved in the crash, Daniel Cramer, who admitted to being coerced into perpetuating Triton's deceptive narrative.


The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report further corroborated these claims, highlighting Triton's utilization of a data center in Lithuania to manage and manipulate drivers' electronic logs. Sykes attested to the accuracy of these findings, acknowledging his own logs had been tampered with, albeit reluctantly.


Sykes' decision to come forward was not driven solely by a desire for personal exoneration but also by a sense of responsibility to the victims' families. He expressed profound sadness and empathy for their loss, acknowledging the irreversible pain caused by Triton's alleged negligence.


Now employed by a different company, Sykes hopes that his testimony will contribute to the pursuit of justice for the victims and their families. He has been contacted by the attorney representing one of the bereaved families, signaling a potential shift towards accountability for Triton Logistics.


The revelations brought to light by Sykes serve as a sobering reminder of the far-reaching consequences of corporate malpractice within the transportation industry. As the investigation unfolds, it is imperative that measures are taken to prevent such tragedies from recurring, ensuring the safety and well-being of all road users. Through Sykes' courageous testimony, we are reminded of the power of individuals to challenge corruption and advocate for accountability, even in the face of formidable opposition.
