If so, they're in for a disappointment. There's no way in hell you're winning a lawsuit when the ultimate responsibility is on you to be aware of what's in front of you.

very simple, they weren't aiming, they were distracted, most likely looking at a phone. the transport truck was pretty much in the lane and because the car driver was distracted, they didn't slow at all, and didn't get 'all' of their car on it because that's why it spins in thr air.

OK. Maybe, and I'll stress.....MAYBE, you have a point. Almost anything can happen when people won't put down those ****ing cellphones behind the wheel.
