The young guy I have mentioned here several time, (my shooting buddy), got in a serious wreck yesterday morning, not far from here. He was on his way to work around 5 am, to the family concrete form business in a business owned F-350 dually flat bed with tool boxes that weighs about 8,500#. A girl and her boyfriend ran a stop sign, at a T intersection is some light fog, right in front of him. Had he not hit them, they'd have gone straight through the intersection and hit a house. My buddy hit them in the driver's side front wheel, so hard it knocked the box right off of a half ton Chevy pickup. The unbelted boyfriend came out the driver's side window, over his girl friend and was laying inert 100 ft. away. My young friend thought he killed them both. As he untangled himself from the air bag, he got out to check on the boyfriend and the kid jumped up and started "hopping around." The female driver was not killed!
The female driver was PBT'd at .209! WTH? It's 5 something am on a Friday morning for cryin' out loud. Anyway, both of the people in the Chevy were transported, and my buddy, (Kadin), is only a little stiff and achy this morning. He is still marveling that the other two were not killed outright.
In my opinion, after a long career working such cluster flips, my buddy should be fine legally and liability wise. He was under the speed limit, belted, alert from a good night's sleep, had the right of way, was not impaired in any way. He is not seriously injured, they have other business trucks, and the idiots he hit are not dead.
