[Ol' Dan Tucker]

If you come upon a vehicle or vehicles stopped in lanes, for whatever reasons, a collision, a breakdown etc, it does not give you the right to run into them.

Show me where I wrote that.

Remember this was broad daylight with multiple emergency vehicles with lights on parked in the center medium area. I estimate 7+ vehicles stopped with lights on. And they were in clear view of the distracted driver. And in clear view of those working the collision scene who witnessed and videoed the collision.

Picture this.

There's an collision on the other side of the highway. Emergency vehicles are there with emergency lights flashing. Naturally, as you come upon the scene, you look over there to see what's going on, because, well, that's what emergency lights are for -- to make see and avoid.

Meanwhile, there's a tow truck parked in the left lane on your side of the highway with no emergency lights on the bed's light bar illuminated.

The bed is up and is approximately the same color as the highway ahead. Since the bed is up, it's obscuring your view of the truck's cab. For all intents and purposes, the tow truck is camouflaged.

Tell me this. What is the purpose of those amber light bars on a tow truck?

When you watched the video, did you see them illuminated? I sure didn't.

@meyer and I both believe this was a perfect storm of circumstances that caused her to collide with the tow truck.

Was she negligent? I don't believe so.

Was the tow truck driver negligent in parking in a traffic lane with no emergency lights illuminated and the bed up? I believe he was.

You just admitted the driver was not paying attention to where she was driving and was completely distracted.

Was the tow truck driver negligent in parking in a traffic lane with no emergency lights illuminated and the bed up? I believe he was.

Btw, I don't know the tow vehicle was in a traffic lane as it's too hard to determine that from the video. It actually appears the tow vehicle was partially on the grass medium. Then again, stopped traffic in front of you does not give one the right to run into them.

Traffic can come to an abrupt stop anywhere and it happens all the time. Cars break down in traffic lanes all the time etc. And if you come along and rear-end a slowing or stopped vehicle, you're at fault.

“”The tow truck, described as a roll-back wrecker, was parked in the left lane with its emergency lights activated, the accident report said. Authorities had been on the scene responding to an earlier incident.””
