This was gone over a few weeks ago! It was an accident! Everything showed that the scene wasn't clearly marked before the blind curve. From where the picture showed the MH stopped you can see he was on the brakes or he would've been farther passed the work truck and police car. And finally there was no intent! It was an accident. Everyone can say all they want (even me) but we weren't there and can only go by the facts posted by the court.
I'm sure some of you would sing a different tune if it was you in that situation. And don't say that won't happen! Eventually something always happens!
It was an accident caused by severe negligence. There was no blind curve. This happened on the interstate, there was a curve, but drivers can see plenty far enough ahead. It wasn't clearly marked because they were just setting up and emergency workers and highway workers were just getting on scene. In fact there was a sign that the motorhome driver passed two minutes before the crash, indicating a lane was closed ahead. He admits he saw that sign, yet wasn't prepared to stop? Basically he was going too fast for the traffic conditions and his negligence caused the accident. That is why he is going to serve two years probation and he's going to be found liable in the civil case, if it hasn't already settled.
