This happened at the witching hour just before sunrise like a lot of truck crashes happen where its baffling how the truck got to the point of the crash .
I believe they will find out the student who survived simply fell asleep . The first big off road bounce probably got him partially unseated preventing him from regaining control .
The mentor was probably in the bunk without the sleeping harness and didn't have a chance . One of the many reasons I wouldn't ever be comfortable training .
Sad all the way around for everyone involved . Imagine the lifetime load the 22 year old driver will have to carry ...G13Tomcat, NavigatorWife and blairandgretchen Thank this. -

I M H O: when you are training a driver, the trainer should be in the passenger seat at all times. Running a student driver and a trainer as a team is the cause of the probem. When the student no longer needs supervsion, put him out solo and give him/her easier hauls. Continue the break in process.
