The dude was blocking the road... unless they can tell by a skid mark or what ever, that ed was traveling at a speed greater than 35, the truck driver is at fault. but there's no way they'll be able to tell his speed down to 5mph. shit at least on my bike.... I loose 5mph in an instant by shutting the throttle. so chances are he'd be under 35mph by the time he hit the brakes.

Rider ran into the truck while the truck was in the lane which makes it his fault. Now, whether the cop wants to give him a ticket because of the gravel and wet conditions is up to the cop. I'm not saying he was doing anything wrong, but the truck isn't the one that lost control.
Sorry about the crash dude...you got hella lucky with a truck on your leg...real lucky. Heal up bro...
