Group says deadly Livermore crash was preventable

A fatal crash involving a big rig on State Route 84 has some neighbors calling for a ban on the big haulers. But for several years, residents of Ruby Hill in Pleasanton have joined together, calling for a big rig ban or at least a lower speed limit. The driver of the big rig in Wednesday's crash, plus two other drivers, received only minor injuries. Nat Ceglio believes, regardless of fault, that big trucks are simply incompatible with smaller vehicles on the highway.
