A semi-truck driver who slammed into a passenger van in western Oregon and killed seven people on Thursday in one of the state’s deadliest crashes in recent years has been arrested on suspicion of being drunk behind the wheel, police said.

Investigators on Friday arrested Lincoln Clayton Smith, 52, of North Highlands, California, on counts of driving under the influence of intoxicants, reckless driving, manslaughter and assault.

Truck driver in Oregon crash that killed seven arrested on suspicion of drunk driving

i totally blame the state he was licensed in, to have not pulled his CDL a long time ago...

17 arrests...????

 

According to the article they were agricultural workers,probably on their way to go work on a farm somewhere.

 

CR truck and the van were on shoulder prior to the crash.

CR I’m hoping just stopped to give assistance to the people in the van..

Doesn't help if people don't have linkedin

 

The company the driver worked for might as well close shop. No way they did a background check or drug test on that driver.

 

Hell the guys been arrested so many times they might as well go on and sentence him to Western express with no chance of parole.
