Truck Accident in Spartanburg County
Truck drivers and the trucking companies often will blame the victim for auto accidents caused by the trucker. Sometimes, however, that is a more difficult tale to tell, particularly when it appears that the victim is a responsible driver.
A Duncan, South Carolina police officer was injured on January 2 by a tractor trailer which pulled out in front of his patrol car on Highway 290 in Spartanburg County. Officer Phillip Bradley, 22, was driving his 2002 Chevrolet vehicle west on the highway when a Volvo 18-wheeler, driven by Mitchell Boulden, 39, of Houston, pulled out in front of him from West Pine Street. The trucker was charged with failure to yield the right-of-way. Officer Bradley received injuries to his legs and is expected to be out of work for several days.
When trucks ignore traffic laws, and people are injured as a result, victims too often are forced to pay a steep price. Let's hope Officer Bradley recovers quickly and completely from his injuries.
