The family of a Harlem boy killed by a tractor-trailer at an intersection without a crossing guard has sued the trucking company.
The boy, Amar Diarrassouba, was hit on his way to school on Feb. 28. He was in the crosswalk, one block from school.
His parents filed the lawsuit on Monday against McLane Food Service Distribution and driver Robert Carroll Jr.
The suit claims the company "failed to keep the truck in a safe and proper manner."
The parents, Sidiki and Mehichata Diarrassouba, are seeking unspecified damages.
The company declined to comment.
