Passing on the crest of a hill - a No-No.

Two adults were injured and two children died after the car they were passengers in hit a semi-truck head-on at the crest of a hill. The oncoming driver, Nina McNeese driving a 2001 Kia appears to have no fault in this one. You never attempt to pass at the crest of a hill, even if it is marked as a pass zone; which in this case the Iowa State Patrol indicates it was not.

Welcome to the Lombardi Law Firm website. 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.
