The man driving the truck said it rained quite a bit during the accident. According to him, the car suddenly jumped into the opposite lane. It is possible that this is due to the water in the ruts and the bad actions of the Volkswagen driver behind the wheel.
In addition, after the accident it was observed that the passenger car was equipped with quite worn tires and that, in general, they were different on the front axle.
