Trucker kills family of 6

This is why we all have to wait until the truth comes out. Turns out he was not at fault, but maybe seeing two vans in the median should have alerted him to a potential disaster in the making.

 

At the time it was written those were the facts. They still are, but now we know that is was not his fault.

 

I think we have all seen some idiots trying to turn around on the interstate, but we assume they will not pull out in front of traffic until it is clear. I guess she felt entitled to go ahead and make the move, along with the other van.

 

I was in a safety browbeating one day with a company that really sucked. They knew it all, but not one had ever driven a truck before. Finally, after proving them incorrect about a supposed violation, I asked my DM, do you feel safe sitting behind that computer screen every day? He said, well I suppose so. I said well I sit behind a steering wheel with 75,000 pounds around me, and deal with 100s of other trucks the same way, and then the mass of four wheelers. I never know from day to day if I will make it home alive. You should consider that before you decide to explain to me about trucking.

 

On Thursday, July 8, 35 year old Iyona Holton was arrested and booked into the booked into the Maricopa County Jail on multiple charges, including four counts of Aggravated Assault, one count of Possession of Dangerous Drugs, and one count of Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, according to a news release from the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS).
The charges were issued as a result of a fiery three vehicle crash that occurred on July 2 on I-10 near Tonopah.

According to Arizona DPS, “Investigators determined the two passenger vehicles, a GMC Envoy and a Nissan Altima, were initially traveling westbound on I-10. Both vehicles drove into and through the dirt median, a marked “No U-Turn” zone, in order to turn around and travel eastbound on I-10. As the GMC and Nissan vehicles entered the eastbound travel lanes, they were struck by a commercial tractor-trailer.”

The force of the crash “split the Nissan passenger vehicle in half,” Arizona DPS said.
