The driver NEVER dies man, RIP the victims man.... this is crazy
I mean yeah, generally speaking the person driving the 80,0000 lb death machine tends to be unharmed when they're hitting 3,000 lb object.

@the cac mamba come in here & talk about this white dude like he did the Indian truck driver??
The two cases are not comparable. This was a normal driving accident. It's a glorified civil dispute.
Odds are actually high that this guy will get off on most of those charges and none of the homicide charges will stick. There's a whole subsection of lawyers who specialize in these types of defense cases employed by trucking companies.I'd imagine the defense is going to argue that the family had brake checked him or swerved into his lane .
The only way they get those homicide charges to stick is if he was on camera blatantly on his phone, or sleeping, or a toxicology report says he was drunk/high. Alternatively if he was stupid enough to self incriminate after the accident instead of calling his company law service. These specific instances would be gross negligence which would surpass the reasonable doubt requirement for court to charge him with homicide. In order for the homicide charge to stick they would have to be intent on his part to actually kill those people or extreme negligence. As I previously said I'm doubtful they can even prove he was following closely behind them , But even if they do prove that that is just normal negligence to tailgate . being in a truck doesn't change the negligence of tailgating to be abnormal.
The only thing they can get him on are the driving without registration charge and driving withoutcare. I would vventure as far as saying that The district attorney is trying to pressure him into a plea deal for the driving without care charge
But to reiterate, This was just a normal accident. It's just unfortunate That it involved a truck. .The Indian dude was zooted out of his mind with drugs so the two things are not comparable. But just because it doesn't hit the criminal bar for homicide, it doesn't mean that there isn't a huge civil case here since the threshold for civil judgement is much lower than reasonable doubt in criminal court.
