Truck driver headed to prison for crash that killed CMPD Officer Mia Goodwin

the law of "move over" will carry no weight of the law, if these jerks (any driver of any vehicle) gets so little jail time.

the best thing here however, is if the CDL is banned for life, which i don't see that happening either.

 

Absolutely got off easy, I live locally,he had no valid CDL license, and attempted to walk away from the accident scene.

 

and fake plates.

 

Guy got off very easy

he should be in jail for fifteen or twenty years

Was he an immigrant or a natural born citizen ?

 

Dude probably should’ve gotten life. Troopers had a portion of the interstate closed off, investigating a previous crash. There’s no way to NOT see something was going on, up ahead. This dude was speeding and barreled right into the investigation scene. There’s a whole lot of knowing negligence going on, here.

Three other CMPD officers were hurt while assisting North Carolina State Highway Patrol to close a portion of I-85 near West W.T. Harris Boulevard. A truck carrying grain spilled a sticky substance on the road that required a lengthy cleanup. Two trucks that were driving southbound collided, with Morgan's truck hitting Goodwin and the others.
Court records allege Morgan, who is from High Point, North Carolina, removed a device from his truck to try and hinder the investigation. State troopers said Morgan's trailer wasn't supposed to be operated at the time of the crash and had fictitious plates. Morgan was the manager of Prime Time Express LLC, according to North Carolina filings.
Morgan's defense teams said after the crash, an MRI revealed he had a tumor that was applying pressure to his optic nerve. Medical experts said that mass could cause dizziness, loss of vision or blackout. It's unclear if any of that was what led to the deadly crash.

 

Typical of a defense attorney. They’re paid to come up with ANYTHING they can to defend their client, at the great cost of ethics and morals. They’ll stop at nothing.
