Commentary on Jesse James Graham Truck Accident in Twiggs County
There are a few key details missing here which could drastically change the landscape of what happened here. When I see a tractor-trailer "turning" onto a highway, the first image is that of an 18-wheeler stretched across lanes blocking traffic. Perhaps that happened here, and this all happened because someone wasn't keeping a proper lookout for the smaller motorcycle.

However, if the vehicles were going the same direction and the trailer was making a right turn, these same details could still be accurate even though the implication of who may be responsible would be completely different. It's for situations like this I always try to encourage folks to seek out experienced investigators.
A deadly truck wreck is complex enough, but there is far too much bias surrounding motorcyclists to simply leave this sort of thing in the hands of authorities alone. Getting answers for the victim's loved ones needs to be a priority. I have serious concerns that the victim would still be alive had there been a more attentive trucker involved, but it's going to take clear evidence to say for certain one way or the other.
