Commentary on Jorge Marin Truck Accident in Pecos County
There are obviously important details to look into after a serious head-on truck wreck like this, but there is one in particular that may not be getting enough attention. Something I make an effort to discuss more often on this blog is the issue with commercial trucks catching fire. Put simply, there are manufacturers out there putting truckers in danger due to the negligent placement of fuel tanks, and crashes which could be survivable turn fatal due to this oversight. Is that something that happened here? If so, there's no doubt a family out there that deserves to know.
