Driver gets 110 years for Colorado accident

Yep. Driver admits he was clueless to the dangers and requirements of driving in the mountains.

Boss was obviously clueless because he put a clueless driver into that situation. Hell I only drive in the northeast and I wouldn’t even send a rookie over the Appalachians.

The entire #### show happened because the ones calling the shots had nothing lose. If the owners and the boss were in danger of losing everything and going to prison they would’ve never dispatched him

It’s starting to sound like he had the transmission in neutral.

 

If you do not understand the difference between a jackknife and intentionally steering a loaded semi into 27 stopped cars at 80+ mph, we really have nothing further to discuss.

 

At six months any driver should know what brake fade is and how to follow simple instructions. All you really need to know is to save your brakes by keeping it in a low gear and use of the engine brake. It was bright sunny day he should have had no problems unless he is retarded.

My first day was up and over the Appalachians. First 6 months was pulling heavy loads all throughout the Appalachians in all weather. On a bright sunny day its really pretty easy just go slow and keep control of your speed. His own brother was an experienced driver. No way he didn’t warn him against getting rolling too fast.

 

Jackknife and allowing a truck to run away on that very slope have one thing in common, in both cases the vehicle is out of control.
Ditching a vehicle at 80 mph is not something any person has a courage to do. Clinically, the state of mind, process of thinking, decision making for someone inexperienced as he was, inside the runaway truck, could not be rational, as you would like it to see. The Cuban was out of control, the truck was out of control.
Therefore, it was not intentional. Nobody can ever prove that it was intentional.

 

You're right. He had zero plans to stop and it's obvious.

 

Therefore, I also say that he was a bullet in a gun discharged by his boss. Or maybe a bullet discharged by those who issue licenses too.

 

The lack of smoke and lights is the "smoking gun" here. He didn't even try.

 

Maybe he tried to brake too much at first, when he was higher up on the pass, lost the brakes and then it is hard to say what was going on.
I don't buy into the story that all of a sudden that day, that hour, that instance, some killer instincts awoken in him and he decided to ram into random poeple, jammed in traffic. If that was so, he was no different than the Waukesha, WI murderer but he was neither charged nor sentenced like that.

 

I believe his sole purpose was to do exactly what he did. He thought he'd be able to blame evil whitey and walk off into the Cuban sunset.

 

I prefer to believe in human innocence, at first, and then be convinced otherwise. For the accusation, that he was a cold blooded murderer, they ought to have him prosecuted differently to prove the intentions and motives. They did not, yet they still sentenced him as if he were. Colorado abolished Death Penalty in 2020.
