    I think it'd be pretty easy to identify what kind of truck it is. Also…LOTS of containers coming out of charleston to the charlotte area so it could've easily been an O/O…. Matter fact you can probably narrow down to the exact kind of truck it is…..

    Unfortunately, that truck is in a barn somewhere getting new parts and a shiny blue paint job. While the driver takes some "much needed time at home". Driver needs to be hanged. Literally.

    They will find the culprit. Watch enough forensic files and you will find faith. Sorry for your loss.

    I watch that show 24/7, all those shows like that.

    Thats why I said they should be able to nail it down to what kind/year truck it is not only because of the fairing but, also any lighting covers etc….Like they did on the dodge ram that hit that teenager down in San Antonio….

    Yep seen a few of them where the smallest bit of evidence gets them. One guy did a hit and run with his old jeep and he was a political dude of some kind. .. held in high regard. He was drunk killed a guy walking, he washed his car rebuilt all the parts sold it then it was sold again. They tracked it down and found a tiny hair of the victim still in a door wedge ...and that's how they got him, 6 months later I think it was. It's really incredible.
