Very sad situation, did not giv e much info on it, this is part of it.
"Deputies say an 18-wheeler caught fire on I-20 Tuesday morning, and the driver got out of the vehicle to check on the fire. The driver was then struck by another 18-wheeler. Deputies are not sure of what caused the fire."

I hope the trucker that hit the other driver (dealing with the fire) is satisfied they did all they could to move over as far as possible prior to approaching the scene, otherwise they are going to have an especially hard time dealing with that event.

Man, that sux!
I see truck drivers, more and more, that just can't be bothered to move over for a disabled vehicle..trucks or cars..even when the next lane is open. I don't know if it's sheer stupidity or they just don't give a ####.
I would hope the driver that ran the Atlas driver down made an effort.flood, OldHasBeen, Sik_Life and 2 others Thank this. -
That's true, some out there refuse to give room when there's room to give. When any vehicle is setting on the side of the road I do my best to give them as much room as possible. For you never know when someone might even accidentally step out in front of you.

That's why you guys gotta be careful out there, it's never safe to pull over on the shoulder because it's a lot of morons that shouldn't have a license operate a cmv or a car everywhere, driving nd not paying attention.

The typical motorist teaches their kid to drive a like moron for 16 years. When that kid dies in a vehicle crash it was just an "accident".
People work on nothing more than developing a state of denial when it comes to the consequences of their willful negligence in motor vehicle operation. "Been doing it for 20 years and that's the first time THAT ever happened!"77smartin, STexan, Vilhiem and 1 other person Thank this. -
I give room for disabled vehicles police and wide loads...this is sad

I'm not on the interstate a whole lot any more, yet what little I am the traffic is quite heavy at times and you cannot get over because there's a vehicle beside of you.
Yet what gets me is those who have space to move over yet refuse to. -

They were looking for the truck and I don't know if they ever found him or not. Its been a long time but I think it happned in the day time and someone who was suppose to have seen that was behind the truck a ways said the trucker went across the white line to hit the trooper on purpose.
I just never understood anyone doing something such as that. That's just stupid.
