    If I do anything during a day, I don't slowly walk around a crashed truck with its trailer ripped open with leaking HazMat barrels strewn about.

    Holy crap. That crete driver is lucky to be alive. Also that 579 held up like a champ even when the i think cascadia more or less crushed its own engine into the back of it while ramming it into something so hard the bullguard was destroyed.

    Feel sorry for that hazmat trucks owner though. Even though crete will need to pay for it, that is going to be a FORTUNE to clean up. And if that truck and trailer arent a total write off i will be shocked. Regardless this is sadly the quality of idiot most of these companys are hireing anymore and its truely sad. What was crete even thinking if he even WAS thinking.

    That being said the dude walking around a leaking hazmat truck pouring unknown and smoking likely lethal chemicals onto the ground.....aint very bright. The guys helping the drivers at least get a pass.

    Crete and that driver aint going to be happy when this gets to court. Thats for sure.

    I drive that road a lot. I can't understand why he was in the middle turn lane going that fast. If he was road raging, it looked like the right lane was open.

    It doesn't make any sense, and there's really no reason to speed through those little Texas towns on 287. The speed limit outside the towns is faster than he's governed. I hope there's some kind of something to explain this.
