The woman was not driving too fast and was not under the influence, but she was distracted by her crying daughter in the backseat. She ended up in the other lane and collided with the truck. The truck suffered a blown tire and ended up in the water. The driver drowns. A particularly tragic combination of circumstances. Robbie Dewaele, driver’s lawyer: “I think so. If it were not on a bridge but on a normal stretch of road, he would have simply deviated. If there had been no blowout, it might not have been so bad. So this is about a lot of tragic things that have come together.”
