jacko45k Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 He was making a right turn, but no mention from which lane..... often they are well to the left and of course in the 'fast lane' . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will B Good Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 So the 'sedan' crashed into the far side of the truck and made it right through/underneath the truck to the other side???.....It must have been motoring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but no guarantee they would not have ran the red light, especially if they were familiar with the area and given that time of night.

Sadly another story about women dying on these dangerous roads. What business is the 2 young women doing at 2.30 in the morning ? When the long truck need to make a right turn, it requires 2 lanes to execute. Normally the truck driver will signal and ensure the right lane are clear before turning. The sedan must be going at high speed. So who is at fault ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many countries use flashing amber at night. Maybe you need to get out more after dark. Seems sensible to me. Instead of waiting a couple of minutes on red with no other car in sight, you proceed with caution. This woman clearly did not, as evidenced by her managing to drive right under the truck to the other side. You don't do that at a cautious speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why interpret the report any way other than as stated unless you have a very good reason (not available to the rest of us) to blame the truck driver? I have no reason to disbelieve him and I doubt that you have either. What makes you think that "the truth will never be known"?
