My opinion, Swift was at fault.I mean,come on he must had seen the other truck in at least one mirror(I am assuming he was looking in mirrors).Wait a minute,you say that was a TEAM?!How come one of them didn't spot/stop traffic?!Swift at fault.
Longarm, HalpinUout, TequilaSunrise and 2 others Thank this. -
Whoever is backing is at fault. Just as if you hit anyone in the back you are at fault. Two golden rules.
Toomanybikes, Studebaker Hawk, 12 ga and 5 others Thank this. -
