I-35/I-80 and Iowa Car-Truck Accidents Evaluated
There is a reported two-semi truck head-on collision on Interstate 80 near Colfax, Iowa. The photograph on the Newton Daily News site does a really good job of getting a higher perspective than we normally see at ground level. Wow! It's pretty easy to get depressed about all the accidental deaths and economic turmoil swirling around out there. There was fuel spilled and some John Deer equipment won't make it to its destination; that's for certain. It doesn't look like anyone died.

Next we have a semi-truck falling down what is described as an 80-foot into the south fork of Coeur d'Alene River in Wallace, Idaho. Here is how the crash sequence was described by the reporter. "The truck driver swerved to avoid a crash causing his trailer to fishtail. The semi-truck driver crossed the road and collided with the center median barriers, went back across the road and struck the guardrail. Police say the trailer vaulted over the guardrail tearing the 5th wheel assembly off the tractor. The trailer fell 80 feet into the south fork of the Coeur d'Alene River."

If you or an interested person are in a collision and you would like the crash analyzed you'll need to contact Attorney Lombardi. This may or may not result in an attorney-client relationship and simply asking for a review does not in and of itself create such a relationship. If you ask and Mr. Lombardi thinks you have a case he will say so and provide an agreement for representation that then creates an attorney-client relationship. The bottom line is that Mr. Lombardi has to agree to take you on as a client; the first step of course is asking him. You've got two ways: telephone 515-222-1110 or email sent to sdlombardi@aol.com.
