    Gee how quick we are to jump to conclusions. Could it possibly be someone else's fault then Fedex? Granted they dont have a good reputation, but maybe waiting till the investigation is complete would be nice. Not all Fedex drivers are unsafe, etc. I have that from experience. From someone with no accidents for a long time. I am not saying all are safe, but lets not brand all with the same iron.

    I didn't jump to conclusions too quickly. I waited till I read the words "Fed Ex ran into the trailer of another truck"

    Truth. But the sound of squealing breaks described in the article means it may be less likely.

    OH WELL! There are no "innocents" . . . if you drive (whatever) should have STAYED HOME. Did ya know in Saudia Arabia women can't drive at all?? Makes for much less TRAFFIC!!!

    If it didn't have fedex on the side of the trl. We wouldn't be talking much about it. So many mistakes happen every day and night It don't matter what name is on the side of the truck. Prayers for all involved.

    What about the other trucks involved? They did not all have heart attacks.

    If FedEx is the one who rear-ended the others, that driver/company are the ones who will be cited.
