The roadway was partially covered with snow, and it was lightly snowing in the early evening. Party #2 (P-2) was driving a dump truck the opposite way (westbound) on SR-88, heading towards P-1. P-1 lost control in the snow due to his unsafe speed while rounding a slight curve in the roadway. P-2 saw V-1 out of control traveling towards him so he slowed down and almost came to a stop. V-1 crossed into the opposing lane and the driver&#8217;s side of V-1 crashed into the left front of V-2. V-2 came to a stop partially in the westbound lane and the north shoulder.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/chpama.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37823\" src=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/chpama.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/chpama.jpg 200w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/chpama-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/chpama-30x30.jpg 30w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All of the front and side airbags deployed in V-1.
