Scene of the Accident
Commentary
Reports say that blinding snow drifts may have played a role in this accident. That’s very possible. The northeast has been getting some crazy weather lately. But as a defense in an accident like this, that doesn’t hold up too well. The weather is going to be what it’s going to be, and a driver has a responsibility to either adapt to it, or stay off the road. If this truck driver couldn’t see what was in front of him, he shouldn’t have been driving. Fortunately, this accident wasn’t nearly as bad as it could have been. Still, the truck driver has some pretty hard questions to answer right now.
