I wish we knew a little more about what happened here. The wording in some of the reports I’ve read is a little confusing, but they seem to say that the victim’s vehicle made a turn, and the semi-truck crashed into the side of the vehicle. Speed is often difficult to judge when watching oncoming vehicles. How fast was the semi in this accident going? Is it possible that it was speeding? I honestly don’t know whether it was or wasn’t. I just wish our picture of what happened here was a little more complete. I’d like more information before saying that the victim just turned in front of an oncoming semi-truck.
