Your question is confusing me? Why would you be fired if it wasn't your fault? It's hard to say without you telling us what actually happened.
Did anyone hit you? or... Did you hit anyone?
But the big question is..... Did you avoid getting hit? avoid hitting someone else? and in that process damage the truck?
There is a gray area when it comes to accidents. If an accident is caused and you avoid hitting someone or you got out of the way to avoid being hit and in that process you damaged your truck....... yeah, you can be fired.
They will say it was preventable (because you caused the damage to the truck, not the person who was cited for the accident). The reason is insurance. Your company will have to foot the bill and not the person who caused the accident.
Is that what happened?
