Police Still Reviewing Truck Accident

Police in California are still investigating the truck accident that took the life of one man on a busy highway. The highway was shut down for several hours as police attempted to discern the cause of the collision. Based on eyewitness testimony and evidence gathered at the scene, a man driving an SUV veered into oncoming traffic. He was struck by a tractor trailer, tearing apart his front tires and sending him into a spin. The truck was forced off the roadway and into an irrigation canal. By the time that police arrived on the scene, the driver of the SUV had succumbed to his injuries. It appears as though he was not wearing a seatbelt when the accident took place.

The truck driver sustained minor injuries in the accident. He is not being charged at this time; his vehicle later caught on fire, causing irreparable damage. The victim was later identified as 38-year-old J.H. Injured during a truck accident?
