    No news story behind it, but the idiots recording couldn't at least help a tiny bit by alerting her that she's about to hit something or at least honk. How did the driver get her CDL though? I wonder if the she got caught, pretty much knocked over the tree onto the parked pickup truck, jumped onto the curb and hit the pickup as well. A triple whammy. This goes up there with that USA Truck driver tearing his truck apart when attempting to make that tight u turn before the bridge.

    Yea, since this happened in Cali, she's going to get a pass because the company is going green.

    I'm with you on the epic fail for a U-turn. I'm with you too on: Not even a horn honk warning? Wonder if she pulled over and reported it.

    Sadly this is where we are today in the pool of newly hired drivers. I'm constantly amazed at who is being hired, trained(?) and put behind the wheel of a semi. Yesterday in Texas I watched a Werner Newby trying to blindside park at a Flying J and I was embarrassed for him.
    Warn your loved ones they're no longer safe on the roads today. It is a tragedy that companies irresponsibly place the public in such danger by allowing totally incompetent people to operate a CMV. It is just unbelievable.
     
    Joetro, pattyj and brianw900 Thank this.

    Nope. Driver goes to jail. Not because of tearing up the pick up. Not because of illegal U-turn or leaving the scene of an accident.

    She damaged a tree. In California. Coulda been worse though. She'd be doing hard time in the Dakotas. The State Tree in those states is just that. The only tree in the state. You don't want to knock that puppy over onto the Governor's pickup making an illegal U-turn and then hightailing it . . . where? Into the plains or badlands? Nope the Governor will have to call the Palin's and invite you to a Birthday party and show you what they to, to tree knocker-overers. Yup. For sure. right? They'll go all Palin on ya and then lock ya under the Pokey for a while, I'm tellin' ya.

    Oh I am So gonna regret this post. I'm just funning though. You got a ton of stuff you can zing right back at us kooky South Carolinians. Our beloved former Governor Mark would be low hanging fruit. Low hanging Brazilian fruit to be precise. Oh yeah. Definitely time for bed now. I mean me. Not Governor come Representative Mark. He's had quite enough sack time. Or; how many South Carolinians does it take to screw in a light bulb? Why? We outta kerosene again?

    Good night Aminal!!! Put down the laptop, blow out the oil lamp and go nighty night.

    LOL.

    EDIT: The Palins shoulda invited Governor Jessie "The Body" Ventura to the party . . . just sayin . . .

    Oh, SO definitely bed time now.

    I did NOT go there with pairing the Governors like that.

    OMGizzles I did. Then the Governator from The Golden State steps in and . . .

    Bad Aminal. Bad, bad Aminal. DOWN. BED. NOW!

    Look up the Morena Valley Lowe's on Google Earth. You'll realize after seeing where this happened that no amount of horn-blowing was likely to stop this amount of stupidity from happening. Not only did the road she was on continue completely around the building, but there were multiple places with feet of where this happened that would have been easy t-turns.
