A tractor trailer’s excessive speed in a curve was blamed for the big rig tipping over May 2012, killing a woman en route to pick up the diploma of her daughter who had graduated from high school earlier that week, according to a report by Robert Salonga in the San Jose Mercury News.
In San Jose, California, taking an exit on I-680, Hieu Huynh was riding in a Toyota Camry driven by her daughter. The daughter saw a truck coming and tapped her brakes to create some space. She didn’t see the rig tipping over, but her mother did.
