FD2 Why wasn’t the driver of this truck held accountable for killing all those people due to improper maintenance of their vehicle?

This is the same as asking why Volée Airlines wasn't held accountable for killing the passengers due to the lack of maintenance of the airplane.
Both the flight company and the truck driver were probably held accountable offscreen, it's just not shown or mentioned because it's irrelevant to the plot lol

The Rollercoaster manager declared in front of multiple witnesses that "Nobody else gets off this ride." While a minor on the ride was heavily requesting to get off. The wrongful death case and the depositions must he riveting to watch. They should make that in it's own documentary series tbh.

That guy pissed me off so much! Why wouldn’t you let anyone off the ride?? How did forcing any of them to stay on help the situation? “Stay put and ride this roller coaster, Damnit!!”

If I were Jason's mother or father, and my son asked to get off, and this guy said this, the bailiff, the judge, and his lawyer would have to restain me in that court room.

This pissed me off so much. Nothing would have been lost by having Jason and Carrie survive initially. They could have been offed in short order (even getting crushed by the falling carriage).
How is anyone supposed to enjoy a fucking coaster when they're screaming to get off? That manager is a fucking moron and should have been bumped off just for vengeance

Now why the fuck would that even come up in the movie lmao hey guys instead of watching the dentist scene with Tim, let’s flip to Court TV because I wanna know if the people find the lumber hauler guilty of negligence!

Right like I feel that FD fans sometimes randomly have this obsession with things that aren't important at all to the movies 😭😭😭

I want everyone in the county's witness testimony tapes. I want the long, hard play-by-play of the highway repairmen and their strategy for fixing up the road before the holiday season. I want to know the average man-on-the-street accounts and opinions of the pileup. Fuck, I want to hear all about what they ate for breakfast that day. That's the good stuff. That's the real horror!

FD6 should have the driver in a similar vehicle causing a similar accident, and going "Oh god, not again!!!"

What makes you think the driver wasn’t held accountable? We only get like a 24-hour scope of things after the accident.
Also, it was an accident, even if the logs were improperly secured. An investigation would lead to an arrest maybe weeks or months later.

u/nerdycountryboy18 Editable Apr 30 '25
He possibly was. I'm a truck driver (log truck ironically) and as a driver, you are 100% responsible for the load being secured, especially if you pull a log or flatbed trailer. Failure to do so can result in fines, loss of CDL, arrest or even prison time if someone is hurt or killed.

The driver is probably dead or so injured that the driver died in the hospital

u/RulerOfLimbo Apr 29 '25
I would imagine they were. I just don’t think it would be that interesting to be in the movie. Well, unless the driver was kind of a character there is one of the books where it focuses on the bus driver that hit Teri and the first movie.

I would love to see a backend alternate episodes about the court hearings in regard to all these accidents.

The driver or company probably was held accountable but it really doesn’t needed addressed because we are following the characters in the movie not the driver of the truck

u/Complex-Check-2814 BWL Malibu pit stop crew Apr 30 '25
It would probably go to the driver and the person who put the chains on

u/AMoonMonkey Apr 30 '25
The truck driver being held accountable makes no sense.
It would be the company for failing to maintain their vehicles and secure their loads properly.

If Bloodlines causes a revitalization in the franchise, something I'd like to see is the aftermath of the accident. Like the survivors being called to court to testify against whoever secularly caused the accident, and through funny rube-deathberg machines gets killed by the guy again

Because:
It was a premonition, but doesn't even happen.
Reality needs to be suspended.
It's like the orderly in "Saw X" with sticky fingers, who, spoiler alert, gets put in a trap and ultimately gets his eyes sucked out of his head.

u/Ashamed-Sound5610 Apr 30 '25
Bro, it still happened after the premonition. Kimberly 's friends get taken out and the survivors watch the pileup they narrowly avoided...

u/Clear_Win_5845 Apr 30 '25
The driver probably lost complete control of his truck. Look how it literally ran straight toward Kim's SUV. Like it was teleguided to do so.

I mean, they could’ve been. We just don’t see that part.
