“The driver of the F-550 was experiencing suspected mechanical issues and brought the vehicle to a stop in the number one lane.” Come on! They were more than likely being an @$$hole and unnecessarily brake checked the Escape too hard, resulting in the fatality. Only they know the real story behind what happened and will have to deal with their actions for the rest of their life. -_-
