The accident was caused primarily by the overloaded condition of the LGV which produced brake fade; the 2nd defendant (employer/operator) bore primary responsibility for overloading and failure to warn or provide weighing facilities and was therefore 80% liable, while the 1st defendant (driver) was 20% liable for negligence in failing to take reasonable steps to ensure the vehicle was not overloaded.
