Who is at fault with this semi truck accident-police/lawyers only please?
A semi truck driver, was on a road that had a passing lane. He was in the right lane- when the passing lane was about to end a car behind him decided to pass. He hauls haz-mat-so he had to get on the road (he had his turn signal on for a while-so the car knew he was getting over) or else he would have gone off the road. The car was about 1/2 way up the trailer (not even to the truck yet) when another car was coming the other way. the trucker couldn't pull off the road with out causing a very dangerous haz-mat situation and instead of the car behind him slowing down-they freaked out and drove across the other lane and went off the side of the road. He called his dispatcher and they told him to keep going. The car going the other way stopped, but the trucker couldn't based on his hazerdist material-he would have stopped traffic behind him. He doesn't know if anyone was hurt.
What will-or could- happen now? How can he protect himself?
