Wet Weather Blamed For Fatal I-10 Wreck

If wet weather was to blame, "Why are charges pending?" Too fast for conditions?

Never having been a trucker (so far) I have had many issues with truckers in the past. My own defensive driving has saved my life several times.........

 

Hard to say. Too fast for conditions, or a whole slew of other stuff. Maybe found some drugs/alcohol in the truck or in the driver's system, problems with logbooks/paperwork.....who knows? Considering there was a fatality involved, the powers that be are probably climbing up the driver's butt with a microscope.

 

Weather DOES NOT cause accidents. If weather caused accidents every vehicle on that section of highway would have been in an accident. Drivers not driving for conditions cause accidents.

 

I couldn't agree with you more. If people (drivers and 4 wheelers included) would slow down we would all be better off.

 

Too fast for conditions or failure to maintain control. Anytime there is a fatality, if there is a violation, you can be sure that (in most cases) charges will be filed.

 

I was headed home around, that time. The weather the pretty bad that morning, visibilty was bad also.

 

I would have to think there is not a whole lot you can do when your truck is thrown that far, except maybe not drive in it. I have had weird, rouge gusts come out of open fields that made me think I was going for a ride before.
