    They are going to have one heck of a time getting out both the body and the wreckage. . .I hope this poor driver died instantly and didn't lay there and suffer for days.

    What the H^&^%^& is it with St George Utah? Seems like 2-3 accidents a week in that area.

    Maybe I'm just more aggressive about posting about it? The drivers here are total freaking idiots! Lots of dope, lots of booze, but of course this is a "God fearing Mormon state. . ."
    This particular crash is only about a half mile from my house, as the crow flies. It went down a +/- 200 foot cliff. (Or very STEEP bank.)

    edit: One of the reasons there are so many truck crashes is just the sheer number of trucks on I-15. This particular crash just happened to be on a secondary highway.

    The media certainly did a fine job of dragging the guys name through the mud. Regardless of his past I think they could have showed a little more respect.

    Yeah, I agree, sort of. Everything to do with polygamy is pretty much "fair game" for the media though. Thanks to Warren Jeff's and his following, where children, 12, 13, 14 are "assigned" to be "spiritual wives" to (what to these kids,) are OLD MEN.
    Not all plygs are child molesters, but enough of them are, to give the whole bunch a real black eye with the public. Outside of the fact that having "multiple wives," is against the law, they had to take it one step further and start screwing young kids.
    I have no love lost for the media, but I have absolutely no use for the bunch that followed Jeffs, which it appears this "fair judge" was one of.

    The whole polygamy thing just makes my blood boil, when it come to the children. I could care less who the adults chose to live with/consider to be their "wives." But it went much further than that. Further even that statutory rape of these kids. A lot of young men (teenagers) were actually forced to leave their homes and families to make the "competition" easier for these old basturds. Yeah, I'm talking high school age boys who are thrown out on their own, and literally run out of town.

    I've gotta get off this subject. Rant mode off.

    I can't make out any skid marks in the photos. Possible medical issue or suicide? I have to take issue with Derailed's comment. I didn't find it it the link so I am taking a leap here. Putting together the polygamy comments and "dragging the guy's name through the mud" I say pedophiles deserve all the negative comments any time and anywhere. Adults that scar children for life do not belong on the face of Earth. A recent Facebook post showed a snarling dog and an adult male. In essence it said: we put the dog to sleep for scarring a child and we let the pedophile go - how is this right?

    There are no skid marks there. My thoughts are in line with what you posted.
    There was an update to that link that identified the driver and did put out some background on him.
    In defense of Derailed, I doubt that either he, or anyone else who is not familiar with this area, would understand the article. That's why I put my post together.

    Take issue all you want. I never read anywhere that he was a child molester. Maybe that's the case. It just said he had multiple wives in the article I read. Didn't know the guy or his history.
