Talmudic logic inversion.
The onus will be on the tow truck driver and the cops to explain why there is a tow truck in the wrong lane with it's ramp down and no lights or safety markings.
You're the only person that thinks a stopped car on a freeway with no lights isn't a hazard. The world does not conform to your thinking.
No, first off i agree the truck shouldnt be there, i'm wondering how she didnt see it, since it was stationary and it were a long clear stretch of road. if a vehicle broke down and is still in the lane she drives along 10 minutes later and she's not cognizant enough to avoid it, it's not also her fault ?? Nothing talmudic logic inversion at all - driving requires full concentration and awareness - not gawking at the flashing lights of a bunch of vehicles in the median. It s literally why anyone following too close that runs up the ass end of a vehicle when it stops suddenly is generally considered at fault. Not sure what road code you have but mine makes it clear you need to leave enough room between you and the vehicle in front to be able to stop without hitting it .
Do you just have no experience behind the wheel?
Last time, when traveling at high speed i.e. 60+MPH you cover ground fairly quickly, if you see a small object up ahead in your lane you assume it's in motion. Should you take your eyes off the road for 5-6 seconds, say to look at the litany of flashing lights on the other side of the road you will find yourself on top of that previously small object you thought was moving.
Your comparison about rear ending someone doesn't apply because there was NO VISIBLE LIGHTING, the ramp being down prevents seeing the tail / brake / hazard lights. Emergency vehicles are held to a higher standard than a disabled motorist.
No one other than you is struggling with this concept, it is why lights and safety equipment are mandated in the first place. The tow truck driver ignored all of this and it's his responsibility. By law stopped vehicles in the roadway are a hazard.
Are you really implying that istead of her not paying attention to what was in front of her, you also would've done the exact same thing 'bc it had no safety lights and warning cones. God damn talk about dumbed down - no wonder there are warning labels to not drink petrol or 'Coffee is hot'.
