Commentary:

Just from what the news said, I can’t for the life of me understand how this accident even happened. Reports said that the tow truck driver decided to pull a u-turn from the shoulder of a highway. Does this seem like the safest, or wisest decision? Was there some kind of legitimate reason that the tow truck driver simply couldn’t drive down the road a few blocks to find a proper turnaround? Was causing an accident and injury to another person worth the five minutes they may have saved by doing something like this? If the news is correct, then the tow truck company is probably going to find themselves squarely in the hot-seat for this accident, as they should be. The kind of driving described in the news shouldn’t be tolerated from anyone, especially large commercial vehicles like tow trucks or delivery vans.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
