Driver in i70 crash had previously driven route

This Lawyer is a real piece of work .... "It was the fault of the truck on the shoulder".

How do people like that sleep at night?

 

That tells me nothing. Considering the lack of professionals, lack of training, lack of respect for the hill lack of etc etc etc. You don't run pickup trucks off that hill on the interstate. You don't ignore 4 miles worth of escape ramp.

IF he did run the route before then double the death penalty and double the life sentences penalty. He should have known better.

The presence of a serta mattress loaded trailer trailer on the shoulder parked means nothing.

Then what do I think is very important?

HE. Did. NOT. Stop. He had about 12 miles worth to think about stopping that big scary truck.

 

I ran into a particular Lawyer one time over dinner. A scumbag if you asked me. He tried to make the excuse or case that since America was bent on creating criminals of all Citizens with sufficient laws that will make the entire Population of the USA a Felon in anything under the sun.

I got up and walked when he got into the Founding. Which he argued itself was a act of commission of a crime or felony against the lawful Crown that was in place that year and long before it.

I like quiet dinners. There is no crime in it.

 

I wouldnt want this guy representing me...


Robert Corry, Attorney Arrested In Kidnapping Case, Said Arabs Were Chasing Him

 

Don’t they usually disbar attorneys for such antics??

 

Guess they raised the bail amount and he didnt get to flee the country.

 

Take responsibility for your actions and not point fingers??? What is that nonsense?!

 

The article says he picked up this load in Saratoga, Wyoming. Google shows a lumber place there.

I can't figure out why he didn't go north on WY-130 to I-80, then head east to I-25. Heck, he could have taken US 287 at Laramie and cut the corner to Fort Collins. That's how I would have gone, even though I love an excuse to drive through the mountains when the weather's nice.

But to get from there to where the wreck happened, the guy might have driven south out of Saratoga, down through Rand to Granby and gotten on US 40 there, and then on down to I-70. I don't know how many of you have driven that stretch of US 40, but it's a very beautiful and dangerous road, though not as bad in the warm months. Lots of switchbacks coming over Berthoud Pass at 11,300 feet between Winter Park and Berthoud Falls in particular, and a pretty good grade coming down the hill all the way to Empire. It's a tourist route, mostly. I've never driven it in a big truck. I've had loads to Vernal, Utah, from Denver, but the better route is to go to Silverthorne on I-70, take CO-9 north to Kremmling, then take US 40 to Vernal.

Now that I think about it, he could have gotten on CO-14 at Walden and taken that down to US 40 and then to CO-9. That would be a much better route. I still don't know why he would have gone south out of Saratoga, though.

If you're having trouble with your brakes, why would you go either of those ways? Could the brake trouble have come on suddenly? I don't see how that's possible, but I don't know everything. I'm assuming the brake trouble was that they were out of adjustment. Is there another explanation?

Also, that lawyer is a clown. I'm mad at the driver for killing people, but even killers deserve better representation than this lawyer is going to give him. If he sticks with this lawyer and it goes to trial, I predict a long sentence.
