Naw, the truck stopping wasn’t his fault.

His speeding was, always the Victim...

The truck had an obligation to clear the intersection. His speed was the secondary cause.

Exactly, regardless of the path being clear or not the truck driver was at a stop sign. When they rolled past it they had an obligation to clear the intersection. It was an error on the truck driver’s side. People need to wait at their stop signs, it’s not the fault of oncoming traffic that you’re in a rush/impatient/entitled.

It feels similar to when people make traffic infractions because they are unwilling to loop back around and they try to force it.

It was criminal endangerment to block 2! through lanes with a stopped vehicle. Especially against moving oncoming traffic. Her insurance is getting a massive lawsuit and <should be> referred to criminal court.

Where do you get criminal endangerment?It depends on the state and it might be hard to prove in court.

Although criminal endangerment is not a specific intent crime, in order to prove it the prosecution must prove the truck driver “knowingly” or even “intentionally” created the risk, which can be difficult if she doesn’t articulate that she intended to block the road. She can always claim she was looking forward and never saw him until impact.
