This article is BS. “Although this particular truck accident was not the fault of the driver, the majority of truck-related crashes are.” It was no where indicated in any public report that the driver wasn’t at fault for partially causing the accident.
If I had to put money on it . I would bet that the driver of the truck forgot to use his turn signal. Because if he was signaling to turn left why would Clay attempt to pass him on the left.. HE WOULDN’T ! That doesn’t make sense. I saw the skid marks. I feel that was. Of Clays fault. It was a horrible accident. Now I’ve lost the love of my life.
