A Houston attorney says 15 tourists from Texas have filed lawsuits asking more than $250 million in total damages over the train-bus crash that killed four people in Biloxi. Tony Buzbee says in a news release that his clients include Tim Orr, whose wife was killed in the March 7 wreck. The lawsuit alleges that CSX Transportation Inc. knew its crossing needed attention, and that the train could have been stopped in time to prevent the crash. The tour company is also a defendant.
