Commentary on Clifford Boettcher Truck Accident in Rock Valley
Saying that a truck "lost traction" isn't really explaining very much. Conditions may have been icy, but the reason for losing control on ice is usually related to driver error. Was the truck going too fast? Did the driver brake too late for the stop sign? Are their tires or brakes worn? Could it be there are factors about their working environment that made the crash inevitable? Without these considerations, there's simply too much room for someone to duck responsibility. For people in need of help after a serious truck wreck, it's best to ensure they have as much clear evidence as possible to tell their side of the story.
