Warren Boardley Jr. was driving on the New Jersey Turnpike Sunday when investigators say a United Airlines jet struck his truck while approaching Newark Airport.

Today, his father said Boardley is dealing with headaches, trouble sleeping, and emotional distress after the crash.

Boardley’s attorney says the family is looking into possible negligence and believes pilot error may have played a role in the plane flying so low over the highway.

They have asked United Airlines and federal agencies to preserve evidence as the NTSB continues its investigation.
