Why is the driver solely at fault?
Once the police stopped the truck, it became their responsibility to protect the area. They have the means and knowledge to contact the appropriate agencies to prevent a Lake contamination situation. So, why did this not happen? Who’s really at fault once the leak was detected? Sounds like more than the trucking company is at fault.
Something to consider…
If a drunk driver is stopped by the police and allowed to proceed and is involved in an accident, fatal or not, is the PD not responsible? Does the PD not have a responsibility to protect, once they are aware of a potentially dangerous situation?
Just my opinion, yours may differ…
