The law for subcontractor issues is clear. While the cargo may be amazon, the vehicle and driver are employed by a separate company with its own insurance obligations.

Awful story, but hundreds of years of precedent are not going to be altered by another traffic fatality, sorry.

Does amazon own the truck? No
Does amazon employ the driver? No

You will find that when accidents involve amazon vehicles owned by amazon with amazon employees driving, they are indeed held accountable.
