Philadelphia: Hit and Run Truck Driver Kills Woman

Witnesses told police that an industrial truck, possibly with a red cab and blue trash receptacle on the back, fatally struck a woman, standing on the corner waiting to cross the street.With a truck that large, it's possible the driver did not know that he struck and killed anyone. If the victim was struck by the side of the truck, there would likely not be damage to the vehicle.
Authorities were still trying to determine whether the victim stepped off the curb and whether the truck driver had a green light as he turned right.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene a short time after she was struck.
Witnesses told police that they did not see the truck driver stop, slow down or speed up after the accident.

Bottlenecks - The Invisible Truck Accidents

In the news recently a number of truck drivers have decided to protest diesel fuel prices by purposely driving slow on the highway. The purpose of this is to aggravate people so that action against oil companies will be taken. This is a very foolish thing to do because purposes violating the law and creating bottlenecks on the road opens one to a host of liabilities. For example, what happens if an ambulance can not get a critically injured patient to the emergency room in time? Yes, the truck driver responsible for the slow down can be held liable not to mention the inhumanity of imposing such pain and suffering on someone who was not responsible for the actions being protested.
