    Happened pretty close to my backyard. I run 6 daily to get around the greenwood scales on the big road. Co worker seen the whole thing and talked to the driver that was in the dump truck. Guy said he had been running that light all day long which is something the area rock haulers do frequently. Guess he figured those flashing lights meant speed up not slow down.

    Story I heard from the co worker was a TSL truck was waiting to turn west and blocked the car's view of course the TSL truck knew what was going to happen and waited for the rock truck to pass and the car just pulled right out there when the light turned green. Just another accident that should have been avoided.

    Seems to be typical for those dump trucks.. I've had quite a few of those idiots cutting me off to get to ramps, one even swerving so hard he almost flipped over right in front of me.
