Yes our police loves to 'arrest' one or the other in every event! Here the driver of the 'parked' lorry. Just because the other diver of the van who drove into a parked lorry is dead.The lorry may have had a breakdown. The driver of moving vehicle must be aware of all obstacles.

true, but also if the lorry driver had parked the vehicle on the road, or maybe at a bend, it is putting other road users life in danger, due to sheer negligence.
