Driving beside or even close to tractor trailers is a dangerous foolish thing to do, it is a recipe for disaster. People need to be more safety conscious, don't drive in blind spots and pay attention. If you need to pass wait until the way is clear and get around the truck as fast as possible.

PermalinkWill Jonson, all good tips but nothing to do with this accident. The truck lost control and went through the median into oncoming traffic hitting this car head on. Please refrain from ignorant comments when you have no clue.

Permalinksaid the car ran into the truck. It reads to me like the truck was passing the car and swerved into it.
May be a little early for blame.
