    Its too bad FMCSA doesn't think of accidents like these before they start picking on the trucking industry.

    Wonder if the Volvo driver was wearing his seat belt? The cab looks intact and the air bag went off.

    If there was any truck I’d prefer to crash in, it would be a Volvo.

    He was buckled up,otherwise the airbag wouldn’t have deployed (it’s part of the SRS). The Jeep driver is definitely going to be looking at some charges,vehicular manslaughter,failure to maintain lane,possibly distracted driving,never mind the stigma of being responsible for a fatal accident for the rest of her life.
