Did the DN leave something out of this story? Is this Costa the owner of the company that owned the trailers? Was Costa a hired driver by a company that told him to leave the trailers not knowing what was in them? It seem illogical that that an individual, if he owns the trailers, to just leave them loaded with these hazardous wastes because trailers aren't cheap and they don't throw them away on the roadside.

This sounds more like a company generated order to the driver to leave them. How the man and trailer are connected is the question to be asked. Drivers responsibility of their loads are only as good as what a company loading them discloses. This puts liability on both, more so for the company loading it. So who loaded the trailer, drivers don't load trailers.

Too bad we can't get all the people that drop poopy diapers on the side of the road, that stuff is really toxic.
