Commentary:
This accident is really going to boil down to which of the vehicles crossed over the center line of traffic. If the victim’s car was the one that crossed over, then there really not be much than can be done. If the tractor-trailer is the vehicle that did the crossing, I’d be very interested in having a look at the driver’s devices such as phone, ipads, GPS, or radio’s to see if any were in use at the time of the accident. Additionally, many trucks are outfitted with cameras, some of which face the driver. All of these devices can be obtained and examined, all it takes it the person with the know how.
