Commentary:

This accident is really going to come down to the accuracy of the news reports. If the news is right, then the pickup truck that did the crossing over is more than likely going to bear fault in the accident. Crossover accidents happen for a litany of reasons. Some drivers nod off at the wheel, some are hypnotized by the road, some are distracted things in the vehicle like food or cell phones. Whatever the reason, there would be evidence, and all it would take to know for sure is the right people looking under all the right stones.

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.
