well if true, not much can be done to castrate him to death.
medical emergencies happen to anyone, at anytime
there will be insurance payouts all the more.
good luck to all involved.

I hope the driver recovers from his stroke & the trooper from his injuries.

This update is from a local news source, the biggest newspaper in Albany NY. The Times Union.
It was updated June 7, at 2:24 PM indicating the trooper was released from the hospital.
Absolutely NO mention of any thing at all about the driver of the bobtail, who was supposedly in the same hospital.

Either news reporting has hit all time lows in terms of quality, or someone is actively trying to hide something.Flat Earth Trucker and hope not dumb twucker Thank this. -
2. Pending Family Notification:
- In cases of serious injury or death, authorities often withhold names until the next of kin have been notified.
- This is done out of respect for the family and to allow them to learn about the situation privately.
and this too, if he is unable to consent to release any information himself
the last sentence says it all
1. Patient Privacy and HIPAA:
- Healthcare providers are bound by HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), which protects individually identifiable health information (PHI).
- PHI includes a person's name or any information that could be used to identify them, even if additional details are omitted.
- Sharing a patient's name and condition to the media generally requires patient authorization or adherence to a specific HIPAA exception.
- Without the patient's explicit consent, healthcare providers generally cannot release their name or details about their condition to the public or media.

Well as it stands right now, this poor driver, if indeed he did suffer, and possibly died from a medical catastrophe, is being portrayed in all media outlets as an irresponsible driver who did not follow the move over law.
That is completely unfair, and if I were the family, I would release information to stop this impression. No names, just vague statement from the family lawyer setting the record straight.Flat Earth Trucker, OLDSKOOLERnWV, drvrtech77 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Maybe he’s one of the many catch and release that new york gave sanctuary. They don’t want to explain why they originally protected an illegal that nearly kills a cop.
Flat Earth Trucker, OLDSKOOLERnWV, D.Tibbitt and 3 others Thank this. -
That’ll buff right out.
hope not dumb twucker Thanks this. -

No matter the situation or condition of the truck driver, the first thought of most people is call a lawyer as if the driver did it on purpose…..
Ruthless, buddyd157, drvrtech77 and 2 others Thank this. -
