It was the rain that caused the accident perhaps, not the driver driving without due caution given the conditions perhaps ?

Yup it was either the weather, bad brakes, speed, micro sleep, err

maybe not the last 2 as that would be the driver at fault, right.

Sad to hear of all that milk being lost, as it looks like the truck is

upside down.
