Commentary
Reports say that it was the truck driver who ran a red light, which caused the accident. If that’s the case, then the trucking company is going to be held liable for the accident. It’s as simple as that. I wish I could say that accidents like this didn’t happen very often, but the truth is I see them all the time. When a driver runs a red lights, it for one of two reasons, they weren’t paying attention and didn’t see that it was red, or they were trying to beat it. I don’t think I’m exagerating when I say that this is pretty basic stuff. Watch the road ahead of you. Slow down at yellow lights. If the driver of the truck isn’t getting that right, what else is he getting wrong?
