Truck accident shuts I-84 eastbound in Newtown

I like the way "No other details were immediately available." is immediately followed by other details.

I was going to find fault with the lack of details, then decided, outside of any unusual details, I don't really need any more details.

Not crashing is just not that hard, and neither is preventing a 4-wheeler from causing you to crash.

Sure, I smooshed a guy into a Jersey barrier, and it was his fault, but I could have prevented it. I let myself be caught off-guard by a crazy maneuver I should have expected, and let myself be pressured to change lanes by a requirement for trucks to use the L lane.

 

Well said, "accidents" although rare, are possible. "Crashes" are not rare, happen often, and are totally preventable. If drivers, professional and non-professional drove with the attitude that accidents and crashes are totally unacceptable there would be NO "crashes" and fewer "accidents".
