Robert Rosner, a Pennsylvania deputy attorney general, died in a five-vehicle pileup on I-78 in Berks County on May 12, 2014, in a work zone where traffic had backed up. In June 2021 a Philadelphia jury found the PennDOT contractor Bill Anskis Co. 90 percent liable for inadequate warnings about the project and awarded Rosner's family $7 million. A second family, who lost a husband and wife in the same crash, received $12.1 million in the consolidated trial.
