Woodhaven, MI — Police have identified a man they say was killed when his semi-trailer rolled over in Woodhaven, Michigan, on Wednesday, September 17, 2014. The rollover took place near the intersection of I-75 and West Road, around six in the morning.
Local reports say that Mark Carrithers was traveling along 75 and lost control of his truck. The truck went off-road and rolled, coming to a stop on its side. Right now, police aren’t sure what caused the accident. No other vehicles were involved and no one else was injured.
Local police are still investigating the accident, and hope to have some information in the coming days.

Commentary
Look, I don’t know what happened here. On its face, it looks like the truck driver is responsible for the accident. But I will say that in 20+ years of being an attorney, I’ve seen hundreds of accidents that in the beginning seemed to have been caused by one thing. But once people start digging into them, they were really caused by something else. All I’m saying is that in a case like this, I’d like to believe that the driver is competent at his job, and that I think it’s important to give him the benefit of the doubt.
