Exactly. I don't think the Police are buying his story. As you say, he had 820 ft. to take some sort of evasive action. Was he in the bunk making dinner, or what? Well after the investigation is complete, they said it goes to the DA.The truckers explanation of the cause does look a bit fishy?
How long was he distracted?
Also you would think once he got into the median & realized he had lost it.
He would of at least held the wheel with all he had to keep from going into oncoming traffic.
I know I would have done everything I could, to avoid taking any innocent lives because of my error.
4 People died yet no charges pending.No charges are pending against Staley.
Drug Pipe Found in Truck That Killed Four Ball Players - Bloomberg
Unfortunate update. Police toxicology hasn't come back yet, but the civil suits are already claiming he was impaired at the time of the crash.
The wreck occurred in Oklahoma.Quickway hauls Kroger ice cream here in Texas. When a driver only drives " intrastate " , he doesn't have to pass a DOT physical. Those prescription drugs mentioned in Do Robbies's link would not pass a P test . I know because one of our drivers years ago was put out of service for 72 hours because he was taking Zoloft ( prescribed ) and it showed up in his urine . Perhaps this driver only ran Texas and didn't have to pass a physical.
