Commentary:

This news article is pretty bare on specific details, but I always advise people to take these kind of articles with a big grain of salt. Accident news articles are based almost entirely on police reports, and contrary to popular belief, these are written by police officers, and not trained accident investigators. At the scene, police are juggling the care of the victims, redirecting traffic, clearing the road, and documenting the details. Needless to say, in this chaos, many details can fall by the wayside. This is why the majority of these police reports are discredited to some degree later on. These reports are not the end-all-be-all final word as far as the investigation goes, but are only part of the grander equation.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
