    The Georgia Department of Public Safety (DPS) recently took to Facebook to point out what is common knowledge in the trucking industry — that motorists are often the ones at fault in car vs. truck crashes.

    The January 1 Facebook post from the Georgia DPS reads:

    It’s not always the CMVs fault in a crash. This passenger car was traveling too fast for conditions, hydroplaned and crashed into the CMV. It’s very wet in north and central Georgia, slow down. #gamccd#gsp

    I heard during the lockdown 80% reduction in CMV related accidents. Difference? Less stupid 4wheelers on the road.

    For that car to end up in that position takes some stupid skills.

    I'm giving the SUV a 8.5 for that landing. If it would have been teetering on the median barrier, it would have been a 10.
