Judge SLASHES Bond from $1.2 Million to $7,000 for Foreign Trucker Who Killed 5 Including a Baby in Fiery Austin Crash

- Start date
It was a construction zone with a reduced speed limit. In Texas you can't do 70mph if you are even within a mile of a construction zone. When you don't control your speed and run into stopped cars and cause a 17 car pileup you are SPEEDING. Smashed to death or burned to death. His negligence caused the death of 5 people on of which was a BABY. He was going so fast his truck traveled for another 1/10th mile after the impact.Traffic was stopped. Running into stopped vehicles doesn't mean he was speeding since it was I-35 where the speed limit in Texas is what? 70mph?
It seems you are confused about accidents since you are talking about 3 different accidents.

https://www.fox7austin.com/news/goo...safety-following-fiery-crash-in-travis-county (Pickup truck burns in accident killing driver.)
The accident we are talking about - You will note that none of them died from burns.
One of the vehicles struck from behind by the truck tractor was a sedan with four people inside. All four, two adults and two children, were pronounced dead at the scene and the damage to the vehicle was so severe, Austin fire personnel had to use specialized tools to extract them.
Another vehicle involved was a pickup that contained three people. The truck was hit so hard in the rear that the bed was impacted into the passenger cabin, causing the rear seats to nearly collide with the front seats. The left rear passenger, a 78-year-old woman, was pronounced dead at the scene.

They have his blood. That means they can test for every drug until they find one he is on... But they seem to have tested out, and admit he was on no drugs.
He could be on a designer drug that isn't tested for. He may not have been on anything but he ran into 17 cars for some reason.
If it has an effect on the body, then it can be tested for. They may not be able to figure out exactly which drug, but they would be able to figure out there is a drug.
Besides, this is just a truck driver, not some sort of billionaire "co-president."
OMG....
George Soros is under your bed!!!!!
Soros doesn't even make the top 25 biggest donors list.
It's amazing how gullible the people that voted for Trump are.
Sedition makes you laugh - you love it so deeply...
Facts matter. Especially if you are trying to convict someone of a crime. Getting how people died wrong leads to them getting off.
You have no clue what sedition even is. That makes me laugh.
Or should I pity you for your stupidity?
Sedition is what you promote, undermining the rule of law and the functioning of the government.
You seek chaos the the dissolution of society.
Treason is not correct, as you don't openly support an enemy at times of war, you just seek to destroy the Constitutional Republic.
You are an insurrectionist.
And you suggested he could legally be driving 70mph.

My bet is his--required by law--driving log is either incomplete or shows that he was driving illegally per federal and state regulations. Actually, I just found this site that says the driver had multiple violations in his log and had similar violations over the past week.

He failed a breathalyzer but passed a blood test. So either the blood test was taken to much later or the breathalyzer was wrong.My bet is his--required by law--driving log is either incomplete or shows that he was driving illegally per federal and state regulations.

That won't save him either way. His log shows he was driving in violation of the law.
Here in PA, construction zones are clearly marked at least 1500 ft. or more ahead on interstates.
And, if you hit a car in the rear end, you are failing to keep your vehicle under control. That is one traffic violation, which is often written up.
Any violation in a construction zone (speeding, wrong lane, etc.), the fines are doubled. Rear end and kill someone, you're in deep shit
If he was driving a company truck, chances are the truck was GPS'ed at the company and it should show how fast he was going at impact.My bet is his--required by law--driving log is either incomplete or shows that he was driving illegally per federal and state regulations. Actually, I just found this site that says the driver had multiple violations in his log and had similar violations over the past week.

The driver's log would also be known by the company since everything is tracked by computer now They would even know the RPM the engine was turning at the time of impact.
It was said the truck traveled 1/10 mile after impact, that is nearly 2 football fields, one hell of a distance in a construction zone.

Witnesses say there were no brake lights before he impacted the first vehicles and that the truck didn't slow down at all. Whether he was asleep, stoned out of his gourd, or drunk the result is the same. Worse of the company--assuming it can be pinned down as there is some question about its legality too--is likely to have the shit sued out of it by survivors and next of kin.
Having no trailer brake lights would be a violation of truck/trailer inspection by the driver. It is also possible the connection could have come loose after he did his inspection and everything was ok. Again, the computer would show whether he slowed or not, as it monitors the truck's speed.
BTW, most trucks (except independents) are governed at 68 mph, which is more than enough to cause the damage that was caused in this collision.
I would think it doubtful he was drunk or stoned out of his gourd. Drivers at every company I know of drug tests their drivers randomly (some even monthly) and most won't risk getting fired for a hot test because that follows them when looking for another job.
Also, a truck driver pulled over just having 2 beers (which would easily pass in most jurisdictions) while driving his/her own vehicle, and your CDL is gone, and you may as well look for a job picking tomatoes.
Yes, the trucking company (unless he is an independent, which is highly unlikely) is in for a hell of a lawsuit because they are responsible for their drivers. They better have really good liability insurance...
Another outlaw trucker kills some people. Truck drivers are exempted from Federal minimum wage and overtime laws, and therefore are pretty much going to have to violate laws restricting their hours driving, usually working over 100-120 hours a week, and lying about 40 of them in order to drive longer, being paid by the zip code distances. Foreign drivers are even crazier, and these CDL mills feed the industry with a constant supply of unqualified employees, usually paid for by Federal and subsidies from Federal and state 'job training' funds. The stare of Illinois even got caught selling CDL's to people who didn't even bother with the fake schools.

Same old shit, different day. Even local drivers get screwed, since companies that require a CDL for a job get to abuse drivers the same way, claiming they're 'truck drivers' even when they might only drive for 10 minutes out of every hour and do labor for the other 50 minutes, they get exempted and will be worked 70-80 hours a week at 'straight pay' with no overtime pay.

They merely close down and open up under another name the next day.
Even the big national companies usually have their drivers employed by a separate company, not the company named on the side of the truck and trailer, claiming they're 'contractors'.
The victims are never going to see a dime, and will probably have to go on the dole to even pay for their medical care or funerals. The driver certainly has nothing, so what if they get some $10 million settlement? He's never going to be able to pay anything. His lawyer will get whatever little cash he has.
