He had been running errands that morning and was on his way home at the time of the accident.

Mr. Basilio was a beloved father and will be greatly missed by his family. They have set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the costs surrounding his funeral. On the page the family states that Mr. Basilio was ‘was always a hard working man who put his family first, despite his limited mobility from a prior accident in 2011.’ His family is grateful to all their loved ones who have given comfort in their time of need.

The Ontario Police Department is investigating the collision.

Commercial Truck Accident Lawsuit Information

Professional drivers spend more time on the road and often drive heavier, larger and more cumbersome vehicles than the average person. With more miles driven, comes an increased likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. And, due to the size of these commercial vehicles, the damage and injury caused in a commercial vehicle accident is often more significant. For these reasons commercial vehicles have much larger insurance policies to cover the damage caused when one of these vehicles.

While no amount of money can makes up for an injury that is sustained or a loved on that is lost, the fact of the matter is that financial compensation can help make a bad situation a little better.
