    Co-incedental - the driver net to me pulled forward, slammed on his brakes as another truck was moving, and came to rest next to me with a dumb look on his fce.

    Next to him, as in, over to the right, was an open laptop playing a movie.

    How do you pay attention to the road and watch a movie at the same time?

    The debris dumped on the roadway that caused traffic to stop was caused by the 4 wheeler. The 18 wheeler tractor trailer driver that apparently plowed right through stopped traffic was the cause of all of the mayhem that happened.

    "That 18-wheeler continued eastbound through the stopped traffic," Poulos said. "Colliding with all of the vehicles."

    If this quote is even somewhat accurate this driver will be going to jail for a long time and rightfully so
