LOVING COUNTY, TX — A tanker truck collision has claimed the lives of two men in Loving County, Texas on Sunday, June 15th, 2014, according to the news report released by CBS 7.
Police familiar with details of the crash investigation have said that they believe 37-year-old Artie Brown was one of the men that was killed when a pickup truck collided with the rear of a tanker truck that had pulled to the side of Highway 302 on Sunday morning.
Scene of the Accident
Artie Brown was pronounced dead on the scene, as was 37-year-old Jermaine Rollins. No other injuries were outlined in the news release.
The investigation is currently ongoing.
Commentary:
You may not know this, but the emergency lane on the side of the highway is for just that. Emergencies. If the trucker had pulled over for any kind of non-emergency reason such as finishing a meal, using the bathroom, grabbing some quick shut eye, or even making a quick phone call, the trucking company could be liable for the accident, but it really depends on how the facts congeal in the investigation, either way, very much worth a closer inspection.
