    Just pass this today

    .....unbelievable


    INDIANAPOLIS (April 20, 2015) – A woman died after stepping in front of a dump truck on I-465 on the north side Monday morning, bringing traffic to a crawl in the area.

    The incident happened around 10 a.m. on I-465 westbound near mile marker 32.6. Indiana State Police were responding to the scene.

    ISP said traffic could get around through using the two left lanes. As of 11:30 a.m., traffic remained slow in the area.

    Sgt. Rich Myers from Indiana State Police told FOX59 that the initial investigation showed the woman’s death was a suicide.

    I get it... I realize ppl that are so distraught they want to kill themselves don't care about anything/anyone else....

    but why why why do they always put an innocent driver, train engineer, etc, thru that lifelong memory of being the (innocent) facilitator.

    You wanna kill yourself... fine... but don't involve someone else.

    the truth is, even with a witness or other evidence testifying the woman was at fault, if every little " I " ain't dotted & every little " T" ain't crossed on that drivers truck & log, paperwork e.t.c. he can have a nightmare on his hands.

    So they let trucks use the left lanes for once.

    The family can still sue the trucking company.

    24 years old and felt she had to die. That's way too young to think life is over for whatever reason she might have had. Though I do not know her situation (or ever will) that's sure a rough way to go and really screws the driver over.

    What grizzly way to die. Why not just take some sleeping pills and a little vodka like folks used to do.

    Because it's rarely effective. Too few pills and you just screw your liver/kidneys. Too many you end up pucking them up.

    Also those in the frame of mind to kill themselves are rarely thinking clearly or logically - one of the main reasons suicide attempts fail.
