Driver dead after colliding with 'hazardous' slow-moving semitruck

Engine de rated?

 

Derate speed is 8 km/hr (5mph) driver should have been on shoulder at the first wide spot .

 

People need to be aware of their surroundings. No reason you can't see a Big Truck.

 

Unless he didn’t have his 4 ways on, it’s the other guys fault.

Plenty of reasons for a truck to be rolling slow, specially with hazmat and train tracks.

 

Driver could have been out of hours and couldnt park it. Anyways bad scene. At least DOT got them parked now.

 

Well, it's not right to rip on the dead,,,,but nice goin' yutz. You shouldn't run into anything, even if it's stopped. If it's any consolation, it's one less truck for the approaching "rear ender" pileup season coming up.

 

This is a lot like the dumazzes that put their signal on from the shoulder and do a left turn into the lane, not running the shoulder at all. I’ve had a couple close ones because of this.

 

I meant the general idiocy of not getting out of the way. If it was de-rating he should have been on the shoulder, there is no reason to be in a lane at that speed, unless you got caught in the number two lane and then of course nobody will let you over.
