    WFAA just reported on the 4pm news that Randy Carpenter Jr lost control of his 18 wheeler after a car rear ended him.

    So I'm guessing a small little monetary fine and band aid for his boo boo before being sent on his way.

    RIP driver

    That makes no sense. Must have been one hell of a big, heavy car to upend the control of that big truck.

    That’s what the news said. An empty flatbed is going to move a little if tapped at a high enough speed. Probably negotiating a curve when rear ended.

    NBC5 reports that an SUV lost control and started fish tailing and swerved across all lanes of traffic in front if the big truck. The big truck tagged the SUV, and then crashed into the zipper wall.

    Should have known a four wheeler lost control and crashed (on dry pavement) and caused the accident, imo.
