Something to hide?

I have thought about this on and off-the role of the guy who works at Tippins' in your accident. At first his account bothered me because I didn't even know another car existed in front of the truck and then how he said you were totally in his lane. Dad is mad about this account because it doesn't make any sense but then I said, why would he lie.

Dad's problem with him is that he said he had to pull off the side of the road to get out of your way, but there is no shoulder there. Also, if you were that far over in his lane and even swerved to get back, you wouldn't have hit the truck the way you did, in your front corner. It probably would have hit more on the passenger side as you tried to swerve back in your lane. That's why I don't think it was a distracted driving issue, because it seems like there would have been evidence of an attempt made by you to get back over once you noticed that other car. Another thing that bothered me about that car is that if you hit them instead of the truck, you would probably still be alive today. I just read about a head-on crash today between two vehicles that were similar in size and they sustained no life-threatening injuries, just broken legs, feet, etc. (like you).

I just had a thought that maybe they had a reason to lie if something they did caused the accident. In the police report, they said they saw the crash in their rear view mirror and that they didn't see you at all as the driver to see what you were doing. That's what confirms in my mind that you were incapacitated somehow and were no longer in control of your vehicle.

I guess I don't understand why the police would still let this go even with information that doesn't match up. Maybe because there was no reason to dig anymore since it was pretty obvious that it was your fault since the accident happened in the other lane. I just wish there were more answers, I don't know why I want to know. It won't bring you back. It won't take away the pain. I guess I just have to accept it. It just bugs me when things don't fit together. Please help me with this Lord!
