I sure wish they gave more details. They make it look like the truck driver was totally at fault. I wonder where the car was parked. On the shoulder? On the downside of a hill?

falling into a grinder is not a good way to go.
Sad the person died, but in a grinder?

I wish I could educate the motoring public about the importance of getting out of a stalled vehicle if they can't get out of the travel lane. I had my own close call with one by inches. If one is broke down over the crest of a small hump or hill and 18 can't react in time. You are pretty much a sitting duck. Get out of the vehicle and go stand in the grass even with the vehicle or behind. Better yet try walking back and try to warn approaching vehicles until help arrives.
My condolences to the family of these two young victims.
Falling into a meat grinder? I hope it was quick.Giggles the Original Thanks this.
