    I read or heard a report that 76 of the 193 vehicles involved were semi's...and that one of the fatalities was a Canadian truck driver.

    Thats what the report states Supersnack! By way of living up here that

    stretch of 94 is like the Bermuda triangle. I dont follow stats but youd be

    surprised once they tally it up how many accidents happen in that area.

    All of 94 is dangerous, but for some unknown reason that area is a high

    accident area. Remember the bus last year that clipped a semi trying

    to merge? Same area only they all walked away.

    And if its obvious they aren't injured, or in a manner that doesn't effect their mobility? I'd definitely say there is a threat to staying in a vehicle after it's been in a wreck...could catch fire.

    May not have been many deaths, but how many have lost limbs,paralyzed, or will go through years and years of treatment to recover from nerve damage. Sadly very few think of these consequences when they choose to play hurry up and get there. Even though some innocent bystanders tend to get caught up in the mayhem.

    From info I was told the CANADIAN that died was driving for a Quebec outfit and they have mostly Dark Green Volvo 670's / 780's
