Excuse me, but how is THIS: "The groom, 26-year-old Victor Chacon, and two children, 11-year-old Tatyana Alvarez and 10-year-old Brianna Chacon,
were ejected from the car and pronounced dead at the scene..." the fault of the truck driver OR the trucking company?
According to what I've seen of the stories, those who remained IN the vehicle are still alive. Amazing what seat belts can do when applied properly isn't it? Sorry - I am just not buying that the truck driver or his company is responsible for the irresponsible actions of those in the vehicle that was hit.
I'm saddened that people died - but there is a conscious decision made NOT to put that belt on. When something happens that causes injury or death because of the decision of the individual NOT to wear the belt - it's not the fault of the other driver that the people chose not to do something that would probably have kept them alive.
Seen too many fatals lately from people being ejected from vehicles who probably would have lived if they had put the belt on. Here's the latest example from around here:
UPDATE: Man killed in I-10 wreck in Beaumont identified - Beaumont Enterprise ((no it's not an 18-wheeler incident, sorry Apo, it's an example))
