Man it wasn't even 5oclock yet and he was getting saucy....

I feel sorry for the truck driver having to expiereence this. Hopefully he knows there is nothing he could have done to avoid this. I hope his paperwork is in order or a totally innocent driver could be railroaded as responsible for the accident. Thank God this pos didnt take an innocent life. As to the drunk GOOD RIDANCE!!

Social Darwinism at work.

[As the SUV returned to the right lane in front of the semi...]
Trucker lifts off throttle and expects to brake, collision presumably possibly if not likely avoided.
[...it suddenly veered to the right and left the roadway for an unknown reason.]
Trucker hits brakes, collision presumably possibly if not likely avoided.
[The SUV then swerved back onto the interstate.]
Trucker hits brakes, collision presumably possibly if not likely avoided.
[The semi came to a rest 900 feet from the point of impact.]
900 feet, after the collision.
tsavory Thanks this. -
Estimates of 25% of motorists being under the influence of some substance are probably exaggerated by "safety nuts".
Just keep the hammer down, these incidents never occur to those not expecting or otherwise unprepared for them. -
At 65 900 ft after trying to avoid unsuccessfully but keeping the truck from jack knifing or smash other or stoping to fast and causing another wreak is not unlikely to have been unavoidable.
Not saying thats what went on or was unavoidable just that I can see it both ways
Oh and your probably right on the safty nuts being offallniter Thanks this. -
