Often in situations that see driver fatalities in connection to 18-wheelers and commercial vehicles, it is normally the fault of these bigger vehicles that have trouble stopping in time to avoid accidents. Other times such as this though it is the fault of other drivers who fail to see that the bigger vehicles are stopped, and due to their great size and mass makes hitting one of these vehicles is a near-death sentence. However, until more information comes to light it is hard to tell what stopped the Ford driver from seeing that the 18-wheeler had stopped.
