Truck Driver who killed three people last month on I-81 is out of jail on bond

I posted a blog last month about the deadly crash on Interstate 81 near New Market, Virginia.  According to witnesses, the driver of an 18-wheeler tractor trailer rig was going too fast for the snow and ice conditions.  Jose Sarmiento was charged with involuntary manslaughter for causing the deaths of Serena Ryman's 21-month-old daughter, four-year-old son and mother who were all killed when the tractor trailer ran into the rear of their vehicle.

Sarmiento posted bond this week and is now out of jail.

There is no way to bring back the family of Ms. Ryman, but we can only hope that either Sarmiento or the Ryman family has enough insurance coverage to provide the only thing our justice system can provide the family -- compensation for their losses.

What a terrible loss this family has suffered.
