Commentary:
One fact reported about this accident has grabbed my attention. The fact that one of the dump trucks was avoiding a collision with another when it supposedly swerved into the path of the victim’s vehicle. If this is true, I’d be willing to go out on a limb and say that the offending dump truck driver failed to use his turn signal if it was a snap-decision to swerve. If the driver of the dump truck failed to check his mirrors or engage his turns signal was not engaged, the dump truck company could be liable for this accident.
