Alert | To Gizmo in regards to your question
Here is my sarcastic answer.........
"Any idea what happened"
You answered that 2 sentences before that question
"White truck looks like it was t-boned by a sedan"
In the words of Magneto from X-Men
" why do you ask questions you already know the answer too?
Here is my real answer........
speed and not paying attention....the cause of 99% of vehicle accidents | | | |

Alert | to be more specific.....
Four factors contribute to the vast majority of collisions. In ascending order they are:
1. Equipment Failure
2. Roadway Design
3. Poor Roadway Maintenance
4. Driver Behavior
Over 95% of motor vehicle accidents (MVAs, in the USA, or Road Traffic Accidents, RTAs, in Europe) involve some degree of driver behavior combined with one of the other three factors. Drivers always try to blame road conditions, equipment failure, or other drivers for those accidents. When the facts are truthfully presented, however, the behavior of the implicated driver is usually the primary cause. Most are caused by excessive speed or aggressive driver behavior.

Alert | | Hey code3, just because it looks like that's what happened doesn't necessarily mean that's what happened. Could have been numerous scenarios. I sure hope you aren't a cop or a reporter. What you see is not always what you get! That's why we have folks that investigate these accidents. | | | |
