BOZEMAN — A fatal multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 90 claimed the life of a 42-year-old Bozeman woman on Wednesday afternoon.

According to a Montana Highway Patrol report, a 53-year-old Billings man, driving a Peterbilt truck in the eastbound lane, struck several vehicles that were slowing down due to a construction zone, near mile marker 311. The driver stated to troopers that he was checking his email at the time of the crash.

The truck driver did not slow down in the construction zone and continued at highway speeds, striking the rear of a VW Golf, driven by the Bozeman woman who died. The truck then struck a Subaru driven by a 69-year-old Laurel woman, causing her vehicle to push forward, sideswiping a Ford Explorer driven by a 35-year-old man with a 9-year-old girl as the passenger. Both the Subaru and Ford then drove off the right side of the interstate. The Peterbilt then drove off the right side of the road and struck a fence.

The Bozeman woman was pronounced dead on the scene.

He is described as Billings man with no name. Not sure if foreign or not. Admitted to troopers he was checking his email and didn't slow down for construction. Seems very dangerous to check email while driving a truck. Seems like clear manslaughter / negligent homicide. Should be some good personal injury cases with truck limits of liability.

Sole survivor Captain of airline disaster tells NTSB he was checking email while landing in fog. What could possibly go wrong?

Here in southern California we just had an illegal alien from India who was driving an 18-wheeler, high on drugs, who smashed at high speed into slower vehicles and killed three people. He was a Biden illegal alien. Big question is, who gave him a commercial drivers license and a job driving a huge truck.

Yeah, but what’s important is if he got to check his email...

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

He essentially wasn’t paying attention at all. He didn’t see any construction zone signs? He didn’t see the traffic slowed or stopped? He needs to go away for a long time.

One of the most important driving lessons I ever received was riding shotgun with my pal while he was driving a fully-loaded dump truck.

Always act as if the braking systems of big trucks around you will fail at any second.

Learn a little about the braking systems of big trucks.

I have a lot of rules like Gibbs on NCIS. Definitely follow rule 9. But have another one my friends and family know: when driving I will not answer or even touch my mobile phone. Not even in “hands free mode.” Suggest other people follow that one.

Death by email is now a part of the times we live in.

"He is described as Billings man with no name."

They've been handing out CDL's to illegals that say "No Name Given."

From October 12th:

ICE director erupts over illegal migrant’s NY-issued ‘No Name Given’ driver’s license: ‘Really scary’

Coulter's Law : No name, no picture = not white man.

[gundog]

C’mon. Those signs were probably In English.

[mass55th]

"Coulter's Law : No name, no picture = not white man."

Bears repeating.

[SPDSHDW]

CA gave him his CDL and a foreign owned trucking company gave him the job. Assuming Sihk Owned,.

[Mark17]

Yep

[vivenne]

Good one.

Ladies and gentleman. If you survive the crash, climb out of the wreakge. Then shoot the asshole that caused the wreack. At least you saved someone.

[FreedomPoster]

Precisely.

Would not bet against you on this one.

WTH wouldn’t this guy’s name be released?

[FreedomPoster]

Link?
