    It all happened so fast I didn't see any vehicles trying to go around it.

    Facing traffic at the beginning of an off ramp, waiting for
    a Big truck to come along to pull in front of in a suicide
    attempt hardly qualifies as an "accident".
    It's a deliberate act.

    However, I agree that choosing an SUV for the ride to
    the promise land falls miles short of being smart.

    If that was me in the truck, if the wreck didn't kill the SOB in the SUV, I would have finished the job. If the SUV driverr did, in fact, survive, I hope they have a long, extremely painful and incomplete recovery, with severe chronic pain to serve as a constant reminder that after failing in life, they couldn't even succeed at suicide. I have ZERO sympathy for inconsiderate and selfish individuals who seek a way out of this life without regard to who they take with them or the damage they cause along the way.

    Hopefully the truck driver escaped without serious injury and gets back on the road again soon.

    I wonder where this nut job goes once she is released from the hospital.Hopefully to a mental ward.We don't need her on the outside only to try it again and this time succeeds and takes innocent lives with her.Had somebody pulled out in front of me like what happened here would scar me emotionally for life.

    Those cops should have shot that person in the SUV. Woulda saved a lot of tax dollars wasted on the legal process and prison expenses.

    The driver of the truck with the dash cam talks to the Daily Light.

    I had a car try much the same ..by swinging out of lane and coming straight at me.. I was at100km,pulling a train at 62tns up., gravel verge wi big ditches and no other traffic in sight!. I locked er up kept straight as I reconned hitting the gravel would ditch me shut my eyes and opened them as she missed me by inches staring straight forwards!.
    still think about this some days ,im still very jumpy when I see cars in the distance when on my quarry run. I reported to the nearest cop shop and all I got was aahhh another one trying death by truck!.
    company was real good to me gave me a couple o paid days off ,wanted me to take counsoling ,,na went out on the Friday night wi the foreman and some o the other drivers and got wasted on the bosses money..it still on the back o your mind when im on that section o road/ jimmy.

    I think it's bad enough when animals commit suicide by truck. :(
