Amazon Faces Lawsuit Over Carrier Selection in New Mexico Interstate Crash

Amazon is defending itself in a lawsuit stemming from a New Mexico interstate collision that injured three people. Plaintiffs allege the company violated its own carrier vetting standards. Road Warriors Logistics, operating the Amazon Prime trailer involved in the crash, had not met Amazon's stated requirement of 180 days of active operating authority before being contracted. The carrier's authority was involuntarily revoked in May 2022 and reinstated May 8, 2024—giving it only two months of reinstated status before hauling Amazon loads by July 2024. The complaint cites additional red flags including safety violations and another crash less than a month before the incident. Driver Harmanpreet Singh was cited for careless driving after losing control, crossing the median and striking multiple vehicles. The lawsuit centers on Amazon's failure to enforce its own written carrier selection policies.
