Two-injured-in-major-big-rig-crash-on-i-95-in-floriduh

Red Volvo tried to play leap frog with a FL.

 

Spend 1/4 my time moving over to the left lane because some idiot of a truck driver is parked of the shoulder. I wish the states would put teeth in the law of not stopping on the Interstate unless it is an emergency.

 

Exactly.. I see so many trucks every day pulled over on the shoulder for what appears to be absolutely no reason at all… And then some of them decide to pull right off the shoulder from a dead stop… Like you I wish law-enforcement would turn around and start enforcing these laws about pulling over on the shoulder like this a lot more to send a message to knock this crap off

 

Based on the damage, I am surprised the headline didn't read "2 killed in rear end crash"...that truck was F'd up. It moved the cab all the way back to the trailer and bent it around a corner.

 

Parts of Tennessee right north of Memphis and Louisiana near the Atchafalaya swamp area- try to pull over onto the shoulder and within minutes you will have a trooper or state maintenance vehicle asking if you're alright.

But agreed- hate that in some areas of the country, interstate highway shoulders are treated like rest areas.
