If a mandate can be passed for all new cars to have back-up cameras, this technology could be done too.

Yes where he went off the road is very muddy and washed out. I saw that when I went by there earlier. @GW I live just down the road from there.

It is the nature of the beast, & little can be done to design them any other way. Usually caused by taking a corner or curve a bit too fast. Years ago I witnessed one that flipped while turning from a side road onto an uphill on ramp. @Dwr—Concrete/Cement trucks, especially with a load, are extremely top heavy.

More than likely had he not swerved he would have killed the careless driver. Instead he gets a ticket for not maintaining his lane, a careless driver proceeded down the road and never stopped, and my son is pretty banged up but no broken bones. Supposedly there are witnesses that made statements to back up my son's claims. I'm mad that my son got a ticket over this, would they have rather him not swerve and risk killing the occupants of the offending vehicle? Their little 4000 pound car was no match against a vehicle that can weigh up to 60000 pounds. On a side note, I was told that the shoulder where the truck initially went off the road had been washed away or was soft from rain. I'm 1100 miles away so I can't go check this out for myself. Does anyone have any insight as to the condition of the shoulder? According to my son, the driver of the cement truck, he swerved to avoiding hitting a car that crossed the center line head-on.
