Trucker praised by firefighters in January crash appealing ticket

STRATFORD, CT -- The trucker praised by first responders for preventing tragedy on Interstate 95 in January -- then fired five days later by employer CR England -- is appealing the ticket she received in superior court.

Nancy Asaro, a 27-year veteran driver, was ticketed for traveling too fast for conditions and fined $127. She told the Connecticut Post: "As long as I have that ticket, I can't get a job in this business, My only option is to fight it."
