Oregon Traffic Deaths Down in '08

In Oregon Commercial truck drivers are exempt from prosecution in the death of people caused from the truck driver driving up the wrong side of highway 97 into oncoming traffic. Even when the driver has more than 11 hours driving of the day. Ajmer Singh of Yuba City California killed Dotsie Irion 21 and Clay Newcomer 23 and their unborn child on November 4. 2008. The Oregon State Police gave him a ticket staying in his lane and that is it, they never check his phone records to see if he was texting or on his phone. Klamath County DA, ED Caleb's office said that driving a semi up the wrong side of highway 97 is not negligent. We are talking about someone who has a professional CDL driver’s license and knows the dangers of driving a 40 ton truck on a two lane highway without taking a break in 11 hours. Even the Oregon Attorney General and Governor's office refused to get involved. The driver had killed a family of four before and got away with it also with not record for killing innocent people. The guy is back on the road and it can be your family that suffers the next death because of Oregon's ignorance and total disrespect for the victims and their families. This guy was completely in the oncoming lane with the center line visible to the driver of the first vehicle he hit before crushing the front bumper of Dotsie’s jeep to the seats and the driver’s front wheel pushed against the rear differential. Apparently Oregon’s vehicular homicide only applies to drunk driver and not negligent drivers. The DA does not see that driver was negligent, I believe driving a Kenworth in the oncoming lane riding the center line with his right tires is negligent. cheating the rules for the number of hours a driver is on the road is negligent, failing to stop and rest is negligent, not keeping an eye on the road is negligent. The DA’s investigator did not contact one witness. The State Police did not take a urine test from the driver until 6 hours after he killed Dotsie and Clay. The police report failed to mention that for the truck to hit the first vehicle and leave the makes in the road where they were would mean the truck was completely in the oncoming lane. As I mentioned they did not check to see if the truck driver was using his phone. They did not calculate the truck driver’s speed for having two collisions and still travel 300 feet of which nearly 200 feet of which was in mud over 18 inches deep. At the time of the collision the Kenworth lost its power from the battery which would have shut the truck down acting as a Jake brake making it more difficult to travel as far as he did through deep mud. He claimed to be driving 45 in the report but the report does not mention the witness who say he was going much faster than 45.
