a very bad day...... i was involved in an accident

an idiot ran a stop sign and caused this major wreck, that will STILL GO ONTO the truckers DMV report for x amount of years, in HIS state. should he need to find new employment, he must now provide a copy of the police report as proof he was not cited, as well as the obligatory DMV driving record copy.

he may or may not be feeling any pains yet, but i think he will start getting headaches due to the bouncing he got from the field.

even if the car driver had died, (and i wish no one does), i could care less the car driver, or other occupants, had there been any. the car driver was the cause of this accident, weather IS not a a factor in my mind, simply cuz he/she blew thru a stop sign.

had the driver of that car been paying attention, even on a wet road, and all the safety features like ABS and traction control, that car would have stopped.

yes, it IS/WAS a human being in that car, a human being that caused the wreck, and the mounds of paper work involved and i'll also bet YOU dollars to donuts, that car driver will still have an attorney that will somehow crawl up into @ad356 's butt hole and try to find something that HE DID WRONG and try to sue him...!!

i feel sorry...NOT for the car driver.

if you do, then you either ain't no driver, or a bleeding heart.

 

I agree 100%. Why care about somebody who doesn't even care about their own health and safety? Human or not. If they cared at all about their own health and safety then they would have been paying attention to the road and driving properly. And not to offend anybody, but it being car vs truck doesn't matter to me. I feel the same way about the driver of a truck if they have a major accident due to their own negligence. Safe operation of the truck should be your priority.

Now, if it turns out that the driver hitting the truck had some medical reason behind it such as passing out or whatever, that is another situation entirely.

 

if the car driver was to have had a medical emergency, then it was "just an accident".

but as it stands right now, and @ad356 SHOULD keep us posted on this, the car driver was well and in good health.

hopefully we will be kept updated.

 

You may want to be careful about posting pictures and making statements on social media sites, about an accident that you are involved in.

You lost a steer and went into the dirt. The fact that the truck is still rubber side down means you did #### well to keep her in control as much as possible. Especially a tanker those fluids like to surge and make it even harder to control.

 

or if you accelerated a bit faster from your last stop you would have avoided it
or if you spent 10 second less on the crapper at your last stop you would have missed it
or if you stopped at the last yellow light instead of going through it would have been missed

Don't go thinking things like that. You'll just end up putting yourself into a state of fear and worry. The list is a mile long and there is no way to know that things would align perfectly to result in you being in an accident.

All the stuff could fit the other guy too, if he happened to leave just 2 seconds earlier or later then he wouldn't have met you at the intersection.
