still his fault...he saw the blinking yellow light, or at least, he saw the line of traffic...
he rear-ended many, he's at fault.lovesthedrive Thanks this. -
I'm entirely too familiar with that junction (being that I grew up there and all). That far north, all you deal with are elderly people and out-of-towners; almost none have no clue as to how to properly follow traffic law. Blinking yellow? Keep moving, but be watchful for cross traffic. (I'm hoping that the lights for 97 were blinking red at the same time the lights for 29 malfunctioned). Anyway, the freak-out panic was most likely what caused those four-wheelers to freeze up (because what do four-wheelers do when clueless? Stop.), while logger probably didn't anticipate the dumbness in front of him, but still should've been cognizant of the developing situation in front of him.
Either way, logger's getting nailed. -
a rear end accident is STILL A REAR END ACCIDENT, that he could have avoided had he paid attention.
i feel no sympathy for the trucker.Bud A. and lovesthedrive Thank this. -
Haha Atlanta

Just wondering if the other cars also saw a blinking light.
