He didn't feel a rear end collision in the cab? I would've thought it would jerk the 5th wheel.

FHP is looking for the tractor trailer which was described by witnesses as being a silver or white in color trailer
Can't be too many fitting that description.
Car gets wedged under the trailer and dragged a bit and they think the truck driver likely didn't know? -
Ive been rear ended while driving and didn't feel a thing…….
NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
It's good they're giving him/her the benefit of the doubt at least. No good reason to run from a rear ender if you realize it happened.
NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
Unless you have a light load it isn't super obvious that somebody has run into your trailer, especially if you're pulling doubles. I had a guy slide thru a red light once and hit my last axle. It wasn't much of a bump, probably wouldn't have felt it if it hadn't been from the side, but I saw it coming and watched it in the mirror. Still, if she hit the truck hard enough to kill her the resulting damage should have made the truck stop (air lines, etc).
NavigatorWife and Criminey Jade Thank this. -
Perhaps a title change is appropriate. The trucker did not kill the girl. According to the article the girl killed herself and the truck continued on, perhaps unaware of the collision.
The title paints this trucker very negatively.tsavory, wanttotruck, truckon and 21 others Thank this. -
Guilty till proven innocent
