What started as a fun-filled girls' trip to Colorado ended in unimaginable tragedy for four friends just before they got back home.  

Lakeshia Brown, 19, Myunique Johnson, 20, Taylor White, 27, and Breanna Brantley, 30, were tragically killed on the afternoon of November 5 on US Highway 87 in the Texas Panhandle after a trucker, contracted by the popular grocery chain H-E-B, struck their black Nissan Altima from behind and sent it flying into the median. 

The sedan, driven by Johnson, was left completely crushed while the 18-wheeler, driven by Guadalupe Daniel Villarreal, 39, flipped on its side and hit the median as well, according to the police report reviewed by the Daily Mail. 

Johnson was driving at a slow speed at the time of the crash with her hazard lights on because her car had a flat tire, per the report. 

Chilling dashcam footage captured by another car on the wide flat road showed the car slowly driving along just as the massive truck came barreling down the pavement and slammed into it.  

All four girls were pronounced dead at the scene while Villarreal, who was allegedly distracted by his cellphone at the time, suffered unspecified injuries and was transported to a local hospital. 

Now, the victim's grieving families have taken legal action against H-E-B, its subsidiary Parkway Transport, Inc. and Villarreal, in a $1 million lawsuit filed on December 23 alleging they are all negligent in their deaths. 

The legal filing is a way for the victims' heartbroken loved ones to 'get to the bottom of what happened' that tragic afternoon, Keith Bakker, a partner at NMW Law Firm, told the Daily Mail.

'First and foremost, out hearts go out to the families. There are four beautiful girls who are no longer with us, it really is a damn shame,' Bakker, whose firm represents White and Johnson's family, added. 

'What's even more heartbreaking is that they were coming back from a girls' trip from Colorado. They were all friends.' 

Bakker, along with Nick Wills, the owner of the firm, explained how important it is to understand the setting where the fatal crash took place. 

The collision occurred just south of Dalhart, which, according to Bakker, is 'almost as north Texas as you can possibly imagine.' 

The legal duo went on to explain how the flat roads will play a key part in the case.
