Such a shame and avoidable. Prayers go out to the Driver's Family. As the story said, this is a reminder of how important it is to pay attention and not let yourself slip into tunnel vision. Always scan your horizon and look AT LEAST 15 seconds down the road.

thats what gets me about these drivers that speed thru construction....even if no workers are visible i ALWAYS do posted speed...even if someone tries to "push" me ,things can happen in an instant...sad indeed.....

Had a "nice" discussion with a "driver" 2 weeks ago in Wyoming after he did something stupid in a construction zone. Needless to say I doubt it did any good.
Giggles the Original Thanks this. -
most likely it didnt....

Why is it so important to drivers, to speed in constructions zones, when the speed limit is POSTED at a certain speed. I guess you have never had friends or family who have worked on the other die of the barrles, jersy Barriers.
Giggles the Original and bullhaulerswife Thank this. -
This is also the reason, that when their done with construction, they need to remove the dam signs.. I do realize this was a active construction zone, but how many times have you seen sign still up for zones, that have been completed for some time..

Who says he was speeding? Sounds more like he was distracted with the 80 foot skid marks.
My condolenses to the family. RIP driver! -
