Commentary

Accidents out on the road are always going to happen, but there are things that drivers can do to make sure they happen less. One of those things is making sure that you leave a safe distance between yourself and the driver ahead of you. At the end of the day, predicting what people are going to do on the road can be very difficult, and you really never know if the person ahead of you is going to slam on their brakes, or try to make a U-turn, or any one of a hundred different things. It sounds like the truck driver involved in this accident was following the victim too closely, and didn’t give himself enough time to slow down once she slowed down. Had he given himself that space, could this accident have been avoided?

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.
