The vehicle that stopped in the Tunnel is a K&S truck... They only run new tyres on there fleet trucks wether they are local or interstate. The tyre had completly disintergrated and the ensuing smoke and debri caused the driver to pull over and put his hazards on. He was there for a min and a half before he was hit...... Thats along time with cars going past at 80km/h. City link has a tow truck on 24/7 stand by for a break down but it wouldn't of helped in this situation. The driver did what they are taught at driving school. Stop as safe as it is to do so..... He didn't jam on the breaks or swerve into the lane. He slowly came to a stop. put on his hazards and waited for city link to close the lane. Just because a car ran up his *** doesn't make it his fault. Who is breaking the law if you get rear ended? You? i don't think so. Unfortunatly 3 people died because someone made an error in judgement, wether it was the driver of the car or the driver of the truck.
