    Here’s a question. If you’re behind this truck and witnessed what just occurred and the truck did not collide with anything, do you stop on the shoulder to check on the driver and risk causing a pile up or do you keep moving on? It could be a medical emergency too.

    I don't stop on I-80 in Iowa, or I-40 in NM/AZ, when the roads are dry... #### sure not going to do it when they are icy.

    This was April 13, 2018. Just so happened it was Friday the 13th. The gold color pickup truck rear ended me and then was rear ended by three different semis.

    So far as I know. The two people in the Pickup were in bad shape after being rear ended three times. The air bags worked when they hit my truck but by the third time they were of no use due to so much time elapsing.

    The accident happened 7 miles east of Sidney, Nebraska. When I started the trip 400 miles east of there I was thinking about wearing shorts and a tee shirt since it was in the 70s.
