Two killed, one injured after car crashes into parked big rig on Hwy. 92
Just don't do it.
At least get to exit ramps or side roads with slower traffic.

Sorry, not going to buy it had anything to do with the truck on the shoulder. The car “veering to the right for unknown reasons” is the problem, not the truck being on the shoulder. How about “just don’t do it” to the car driver. As in , STAY THE H*LL OFF YOUR PHONE!!!!. That’ll solve the issue.

was the truck broke down? were triangles put out?
comes to the lawyers making the driver pay, his insurance pay, his company pay...
as if "no parking signs" were posted, even if where he parked, one was missing, he should not have been there.
elogs will be checked as well
drunk driver? perhaps, but the lawyers will say, "well ladies and gentlemen of the jury, yes, my client ws drunk, yes, he veered off the road, BUT, had that truck NOT been there, my client and his passenger would have only been injured going into the ditch, not being killed by a trucker, illegally parked"
judge gonna say...."pay the nuclear claim, case closed" -
That may work out in our jacked up pay out tort law environment but we all know it’s the cars fault for swerving and my money is not on a drunk driver but a car operator on a device of death known as a cell phone. Tort law may find the truck liable but if I were the truck operator I could sleep at night despite the deaths

Cell phone, every time, 100% of the time almost.

The extensive 12 word article in "the Mercury News" doesn't give anyone here enough information to make any kind of a judgement.
However, by the time I see you in court, I will have enough information, a crying relative, and other tidbits to cause the trucking company to settle before it goes in front a jury.
the HAMMER....
