Semi-truck crash on I-84 blocks traffic for over four hours | ktvb.com
Another classic merge accident involves truck driver concentrated on the merge traffic in his mirror while missing the parked rig ahead. It happens. Well...
The attorneys will ask and discover, why was that rig parked on shoulder. Was it legally parked? Does it matter?
A werner truck was traveling West thru Odessa TX. on electronic logs- was legal and operating under posted speed limit. That day It was ice and snow. A car with mom driving and 2 kids were traveling opposite direction on interstate heading East. The mom lost control, skidded thru the median, crashed into Werner with tragic results. The Werner driver maintained control, stopped, went back and rendered aid and assistance to the victims. Terrible accident. Right?
One would think Werner was in the right, right?
The attorneys argued the Werner driver should not have been at that location due to weather and won the case.
The award was 60 million for the plaintiffs. No word on the trucker.
Any concern or pay for the trucker? No. What about insurance rates for the industry? Precedent set.
What do you suppose results in all these daily shoulder parking tragedies
where there is actual fault?
Time, money, loss, prison sentences are all on the table for shoulder parking stupidity.
Don't do it.

Im waiting for some drunk driver to plow through a barrier into a parked semi at a big chain truckstop and the trucker loses a "shouldnt have been there" lawsuit
Flat Earth Trucker, Kyle G., takeheed777 and 2 others Thank this. -
Your description isn’t what I want read in article?? Unless I’m mistaken the shoulder truck pulled out in front of the other semi causing a huge crash . Also the mom was a passenger in the Werner crash but sued Werner because her driver didn’t have money. Didn’t appeal court overturn the verdict?
