    I don't understand how some of these things happen. My bet is somebody wasn't paying attention

    They airlifted one guy out, the driver from what I could tell. I'm sure if it was his kid he prob wishes he died right their. The sad part about all of this I almost guarantee it was some broke down screwed up rig running on #### steel cords. It is madding.

    I spent a big chunk of my life working in EMS.
    After a while you get a pretty hard heart.
    You never get over kids being involved; those are the incidents that stick with you. The ones that haunt you.

    It happens quicker than you think.

    Said steer tire blew out and caused him to veer towards the median. We all know how uneven pavement can pull or even jerk the wheel. Once in the median, it was probably all he could do to hang on.

    Sad sad tragedy and circumstances. If something like this happened to me, I'd be an emotional basket case. I'd probably have to quit trucking.
