    Further to this headline, which is unnecessarily unfair to truckers: in this case, it looks like the bus pulled out in front of the truck who had the right of way. There was a dashcam in the truck. According to the police, they seized the dashcam on the scene. No one knows why the driver of the bus pulled into the trucks lane at that time.

    This is not Humboldt 2.0. Still a tragedy, but different lessons will be learned this time.

      I don’t think the headline is meant to criticize truckers, but rather the industry and its current regulations. Even if the truck driver had the right of way, it’s fair to analyze the industry in an article, especially considering the number of highway collisions involving semi-trucks and the high mortality of such accidents.
