How Did This Accident Occur?
Over the last three decades, I’ve had the opportunity to analyze hundreds of truck accidents. There are still very few details available regarding this accident, but I can’t help to consider what condition the truck driver might have been in at the time of the collision. It happened late in the evening; was the driver fatigued? Had they been taking the amount of brakes required by law to help keep roadways safe? You can let me know in a comment if you think this is too outlandish, but could that have been a factor as to why the truck struck the pickup?
I don’t pretend to know more about this specific wreck than anyone else outside the investigation, but I’ve seen instances where companies create unrealistically tight delivery schedules, pushing their drivers to work longer than is considered safe in order to help their bottom line. Often, they get away with it; sometimes not. If that was the case here, then the company with which the truck is affiliated could bear a portion of the blame for the outcome of the wreck and should be held accountable.
