Spirit Airlines is accused of abandoning an “unaccompanied and disoriented” senior citizen with dementia at a Texas airport, after which the man wandered onto a highway and was fatally struck by oncoming traffic, according to a federal lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
In their complaint, Marcos Humberto Vindel Osorio’s surviving relatives claim they informed Spirit upon check-in about the 75-year-old’s cognitive issues, and said he would require assistance deplaning and navigating through the terminal upon his flight’s arrival in Houston.
