As a cynic I'd expect the 'I'm sorry (for me) syndrome'. But for what its worth, I hope the fool learned something. -
Basically if you do anything to impair your driving or can't control your habit, get the he'll off the road, if it's a no break habit then turn your keys in and find help. There is one person you can't fool and that's yourself. C'mon your killing innocent people for God sake.

When I first heard of the accident I assumed the big truck was leaving the Pilot because that's always a challenge leaving there with the RR tracks and the traffic. Turns out he was turning into it. No excuse for that.
They are putting traffic lights at that intersection right now along with 2 or 3 more lights going north on 46 to Dickson. -
Seems like they never put in traffic control, until a certain number of people, (or one so called "IMPORTANT") person dies there.
Bean Jr., Canned Spam, free spirited1 and 1 other person Thank this.
