Re: North Fork Crash
Posted by DaniJude
To me, I thought the opposite - the point of impact on the limo was in the center... there was a large area from the front of the limo, where it began, to the point of impact -- So, imagine it turning. Now, if the truck had hit where the limo driver was sitting yeah - then if you are the limo driver you are pulling out RIGHT in front of that truck with the truck at a close distance -- so he should have seen that truck and not gone.
But, since it was in the center, depending on the speed of the truck IMO the truck was the one that had the last clear chance to avoid --- steer out of the way, off the road, or slow down.
I read that because of the size of the limo, it has a HUGE blind spot and would have been unable to see the truck while it made that part of the turn, which is why it is so much more dangerous for limos to make that U-turn than a regular vehicle. So, I am not sure that you can make the assumptions you made. I did too think the same thing, why not swerve? But it seems like without being in the situation you really can't say for sure.

Re: North Fork Crash
They should make a huge example of anyone who did wrong in any of this, and the survivors and families should find some peace.
People are selfish and aggressive on the road, and lives are irretrievably lost. It's so easy to think only about yourself and getting where you need to go. Then, when a life s lost, everyone's full of remorse, and they'd take it back if they could
Too little, too late.
We need to crack down on all of it--yesterday.
