In January 2012, a Three Angels Farms driver fell asleep behind the wheel, veered off the right side of the road and lost control. The trailer carrying 38 horses overturned and three of the horses died. The driver claimed he had been working all night at the farm and only had 30 minutes of rest in a 24-hour period, according to the Imminent Hazard order issued by FMCSA. Six months later the company was involved in another wreck in which a trailer carrying 36 horses collapsed and snapped in half. One horse had to be euthanized. The investigating agency found that the driver of the truck did not have a valid CDL and the second driver in the vehicle had only a suspended CDL.
