1) The bus was broken down, so was stationary.
2) The Artic was moving and did not avoid the stationary object.

Therefore he was moving too fast for the weather and road conditions, otherwise he would have driven around the bus with no problems.

Please note, I am a professional driver so I do know what I am talking about.

Yes it is sad news the driver died, I feel for his family
