Well then Nick, you would probably have been over Whitebird a few times and know the area in question. We actually go to Kooskie twice a month for the cheaper tobacco products on the Res. We lived in Harpster for a while also and almost bought a house there.
People could have been to Idaho at one time or another and never been on Whitebird Hill where this accident happened. I assume you have and you know where the accident happened just north of hoots Cafe is a downhill grade to the bottom of whitebird where the whitebird grade begins at the bridge and that the Truckers get a run at the hill where this accident happened. For those that don't know, Whitebird Hill has several runaway ramps and a very bad reputation among Truckers.
I could post several trucking accidents on that hill just in the last 6 months. It's a Truckers nightmare, especially in the winter and why this particular trucker was getting a run at the hill when the travel trailer was trying to pass.
Why not put this to rest. What was the exact witness statement indicating speed was a contributing factor. It is not in the report put presumably you were privy to this first hand statement let us know.
Now it sounds like the trucker sped up knowing another vehicle was attempting to pass.
