With all due respect.

The driver of the dump truck may have been unaware of the fact that the truck had been struck.

The driver of the car struck the rear of the truck; that's failure to be in control of your vehicle or following too close or some-such.

Seems to me, that considering both of my statements, the dump truck driver probably did not flee the scene.

I hope the lady is OK. She might consider surrendering her right to drive due to age.

With all due respect???????? You may have a point as far as the dump truck driver being unaware they had been hit. But it is insulting for you to suggest Ms. Fain should stop driving at 69 years YOUNG. There are a myriad of reasons for a person to rear end another vehicle, none of which have to do with a person's age. Seriously???????
