I-80 Brule Nebraska 5 dead 6 injured

they only way he can be innocence if the 4th vehicle slam on his brakes and stop in the middle of the road.

He killed a van full of people and push it against 3 other cars. This sounds like another walmart driver's case

 

wow, 3 kids, all under 3 years old died. Construction zone, in the afternoon, enough force to push the van into 3 cars.

But wait guys, this isn't enough to say this driver is guilty. There's a 0.0001% chance that all 4 vehicles were driving in reserve. see? stop accusing him

 

Virtually all of Nebraska is a construction zone and that article still explains nothing. A crash occurred in a construction zone, well that tells me that a crash occurred in a construction zone and literally nothing else. And its not a ya ya ya legal system, it's a system that should require proof and evidence. Look, chances are he did slam into them but without evidence how can anyone blame him fairly? We as truckers are always seen at fault even when we aren't so I just can't believe truckers would not demand proof.

You can make anyone out to be the bad guy. Perhaps his brakes failed or perhaps that van speed up, cut him off as the lane was running out and slammed on the brakes leaving him no time. Can you honestly tell me that something similar to that has not happened to you? 4 wheelers often put themselves in horrible situations. Let's see what the evidence says.

 

It's not even near enough to make him guilty. That article literally provides no proof.

 

So why rush to judgement? I see this all the time in this section. If the article had said he fell asleep, or was drunk or something like that then I hear you. But all the article says is that there was a crash. How can you possibly be ready to burn a guy based on that?

 

Okay, u win.
Next time I need a lawyer i'm calling you

 

That would be a bad decisions but I'll take your money regardless.

 

Honestly? Yes, I can tell you that I've been driving for 20 years, 4 of which were in the Corps. I've logged somewhere near 2 million miles with no accidents and no moving violations. I see 4-wheelers do incredibly stupid things everyday and yes it pisses me off. But I drive knowing that I have a responsibility greater than most and I treat it as such. Brakes failed? Driver error, improper pretrip. I see S-heads like this guy everyday as they come up behind me and then whip out to pass at the last minute. It never ceases to amaze me how drivers will defend the same drivers that are the reason for the excessive rules and regulations in our industry. Drivers like this and the companies that hire them indirectly bring down your wages because of their irresponsible practices. When this goes to court I'd be willing to bet that this a-hole ends-up in the can for life.

 

See, this here is B.S. I never defended the driver, I am defending the need for proof and you paint me in some generic "I want to see bad guys on the road" light. Where have you seen someone defending a negligent killer driver? Where? Point it out.

We are not taking bets, we are not discussing odds. You want this guy burned with literally no evidence. There was a crash, it involved a big truck and it was in a construction zone. We know nothing else. If that was you, and you knew your were innocent. How would you feel?
Again, just to be ultra clear, I am not defending any bad drivers. I am defending the NEED for proof and nothing else.

 

Also, brakes can fail no matter how well you do a pre-trip. There are a multitude of reasons this could occur. But this is a rabbit hole.
