    Article from the Truckers News
    Truckers News Staff (TN)

    "A tractor-trailer driver in suburban Salt Lake City had a bit of a surprise Wednesday when their truck was hit head-on by another vehicle. "
    ......
    "....the real shocker was who was driving the car that hit his rig. It was a 9-year-old girl behind the wheel and her 4-year-old sister in the passenger seat. Seems the two decided they wanted to go swimming in the ocean in California so hopped in the family car and took off from home."

    Looks like the car went totally out of control before slamming head-on into a semi truck....

    And article says that, "...before hitting the tractor-trailer, the joy-riding youngsters collided with a pickup truck when they exited off of Bangerter on to state Route 201 eastbound."
    None of the girls were injured in either collision... they were pretty darn lucky...

    That driver needs to sue the parents of those kids for EVERYTHING THEY HAVE AND GIVE THEM A TASTE OF WHAT TRUCK DRIVERS DEAL WITH EVERY DAY!
