A report by the California Highway Patrol's investigation into the truck accident near Santa Clarita, last year concluded that the speed of the driver, played an important role in the accident. The report also expressed concern about the state of the tractor-trailer at the time of the accident the truck, and this, District Attorney fears could be used by the defense team as the main cause of the accident.

According to the Los Angeles Times, CHP research team recommended that vehicular manslaughter charges brought against the truck driver José Reyes, but prosecutors have declined. One of the conclusions in the report that faults the condition of the brakes of the truck by truck accident is being given as the reason for the refusal to press charges against Reyes.

On 12 October last year, Reyes was driving his tractor trailer when the tunnel of Interstate 5 when he crashed into a concrete wall. His speed at the time of the accident was 65 km / h in what is an area of 55 mph speed limit. The crash blocked most of the tunnel, and many of the trucks they were following Kings were able to stop in time. However, the deceleration of the vehicle led to many more trucks that crash near the exit. In total, thirty-three trucks involved in multiple vehicle crash. Some of these burst into flames, catching the drivers of trucks and drivers inside the tunnel, which soon became an inferno of flames. Temperatures soared to 1,500 degrees, and the flames touched the roof of the tunnel. A 6-year-old boy in one of the vehicles survived the crash but was killed by the flames. Two other people died in truck accident. The charred remains of trucks were burned transport affected in the tunnel for over a month.

The CHP reports mention the speed of the driver, who was navigating the curving road on a slippery surface as the main cause of the accident. However, prosecutors are of the opinion that the results are inconclusive. A defense team could blame the results of the report and arrive at the simulation data show that Robinson was not above the speed limit.

There also is a finding in the report that emphasizes the class so that the truck was at the time of the accident. The analysis in the right front brake of the tractor-trailer revealed that the vehicle was in poor condition. There was an accumulation of fat around the wheel that might have affected the Kings had control over the truck. This accumulation of fat would have interfered with control of the truck when the brakes are applied and the vehicle may have veered to the left, the report said. That's exactly what happened when Reyes applied the brakes, the truck turned left and crashed into the concrete wall.

Saia Motor Freight Line, Inc., the transportation company that owns the truck and was responsible for its maintenance, has refused to accept the findings of CHP true. The truck accident occurred because of the dangerous nature of the tunnel, with poor lighting and too many blind curves, a company spokesman said

Meanwhile, the families of those killed or injured in the crash of a truck awaiting more test conclusive can pinpoint responsibility in this case. An experienced truck accident lawyer in California could carry out independent research on maintenance records of the carrier by road to check the condition of the truck was indeed responsible for the accident.
