KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A lawsuit has been filed in the deadly hit and run that claimed three lives in May.

Thornell's unborn child also died in the crash.
Curtis Harper, 22, has been accused of being the driver at the time of the wreck. He faces several charges, including vehicular homicide, DUI and tampering with evidence, in the wreck.
