At this time, it looks like the driver of the big rig may have been at fault. As a truck driver, it is important to know the road and stick to your route-- BUT things happen. There is no word on WHY the driver was off his route. The reality however, is this-- keeping the roads safe is the responsibility of everyone.  Next time you're on the road with one of the highway goliaths, keep these important driving tips in mind. Never ride in a trucker's blind spot, which is at the right/ rear of the vehicle and right front corner of the truck.  If you're going to pass a truck, get it over with.  Never ride side by side if you can control it because you never know when you'll slip into one of these blind spots.
