According to the authorities’ report, the driver of the truck tried to avoid vehicles driving at a reduced speed, while the truck did not slow down on a snow-covered road.
The road conditions were far from perfect, and the driver did not adapt his driving to them, certainly infuriating the police officer involved in what could have been a dramatic scenario.
