I wish we knew a little more about what happened here. The accident happened around 1:30 in the morning, but the interstate isn’t completely unlit. Add that to the box truck’s own headlights, and the driver should have had a pretty good view of the road. If the victim’s car had stalled out, that implies that it was on the road for at least a minute or two before the accident happened. Why wasn’t the driver able to spot it and avoid the crash? Did the driver of the box truck have a good view of the road? Was he paying adequate attention? If anyone knows a little more about this accident, I’d be interested in hearing it.
