This was just a regular 1 ton pick up, not a semi.There’s actually a lot of people supporting his release claiming “his brakes failed”. They don’t understand that unlike light vehicle brakes trucks brakes can’t just suddenly fail. Overheating them is the only possibility of failure and that’s that’s the direct result of driver negligence.
So... you're saying he INTENTIONALLY set out to kill people that morning?That wasn't an accident , it was wreck, predictable and preventable.

Basically the same brakes as any passenger car or other pick up truck just a little bigger then some.
oops sorry missed that one.Different wreak. There was the guy pulling the boat with the 1 ton but this guy that got 110 years was hauling lumber on a semi. The boat guy was equally negligent and deserves prison too.

There is also the possibility of a service brake line failure, but that would still allow the driver the option of pulling the red and yellow knobs or taking a runaway ramp. But that wasn't the case here. In reality it seems this guy either had inadequate training. You would think they would at least cover mountain driving in theory if they couldn't do it in practice.Overheating them is the only possibility of failure and that’s that’s the direct result of driver negligence.
