Who was the idiot attorney advising this dumb kid?
May not have had one, apparently............
Things not to say so the general public, the layers and the insurance companies don’t hear ya.
So this happened over a year ago and no charges have been filed.
Maybe the DA has decided it was just an unfortunate accident.
Notice that, according to the article, the people did not die from injuries in the accident, but from exposure to the anhydrous ammonia that leaked from the punctured tank...........
I killed five people

Welcome to the mass murderer club, airhead.
Also,
“that the driver didn’t actually make contact with the tanker.”
That makes it difficult to prove any cause and effect..........
Sounds like the five probably died quickly. I remember a dash-cam video from 2000 that showed an LEO driver getting out of his car and walking into a cloud of anhydrous ammonia to check on victims at a vehicle accident scene. He obviously didn’t identify what was leaking into the air from the small trailer. His radio mic was on and he just walked into the cloud, coughed, and keeled over. He didn’t breathe much longer.
That is really a dangerous chemical. A small hose leak can kill a farmer instantly. A small amount can create a large kill zone. It basically takes your breath away before you know anything.
You shouldn’t expect the person you are passing to have to put on their brakes. Mom should have taken the car away at first sign of dangerous passing.
Immediate death...................
The video would convict her.
She says they almost got in a head on.
Passing a huge truck blind is something she should’ve thought of regarding that.j
She says she did not see the ‘do not pass’ signs either.
This is why I am so afraid to drive on the freeway. This is really a pretty common type driver out there.
There is a law against using ammonia as a refrigerant in places where a leak could endanger people. It is a better refrigerant than the freon based.
But, our corrupt government has handed out “exceptions”. I know that the Dallas American Airlines Center ice system (for the ice hockey) runs on Ammonia.
and the place seats 10’s of thousands.
I think too many careless, stupid incidents on the road are misrepresented as “accidents.”
These insane lane-jumpers passing traffic madly at 85 mph should be held criminally accountable WHEN they cause “accidents.”
It is used a lot on corn by farmers.
I think I counted seven likes.
