I've been told that based on destination, time frame, and collision details, the driver was trying to get to his destination before it closed and blatantly plowed through the stop sign. I've been told many drivers roll the dice in the middle of nowhere when on tight schedules.

I remember hearing that the owner said the driver took a different route or one that the owner never takes.
Of course this is pure speculation, but I think the driver realized that he took a wrong turn and was relying on his GPS. It's not like you can turn a truck with a set of super b's around like you can a car on a two lane highway. I think he was checking his GPS/phone when he came up to the intersection not knowing that it was a stop sign. Inexperienced driver unfortunately.
