HOLTVILLE â The 28-year-old driver of the 1997 Ford Expedition carrying himself and 24 passengers apparently did stop or nearly stop before turning from Norrish Road onto State Route 115 in front of the oncoming semi that broadsided the SUV.
That was one of the findings of a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Boardâs investigation into the March 2 collision, which killed Jairo de Jesús LandÃn Dueñas and 12 of his passengers.
