NTSB investigating I-65 crash in Kentucky

Get out of here...........

 

Somebody kick this vulture off of here. Driver and van occupants are probably not even in their grave yet and he wants driver violation info.

 

That's preaty bad.

 

WOW! THATS F'ED UP! Come to a trucking web site to look for dirt on a trucking company and driver so he can further the negative stereotypes that the media insists on giving all of us!
And you want to know who the real low life is? Tell that Guy to look in the mirror!

 

Everyone is quick to jump on the poor driver whom burned to death in his cab, IF he was alive at the time of the fire. There has to be some underlying medical issue that caused this wreck. I firmly believe that as the facts are discovered we will find that the truck driver was incapacitated. Of course reporters don't care, they will find some way to spin it as he purposely and willfully let himself get sick or some bs.

 

I am inclined to believe that he may have been gone before the accident.

I did read where they thought he hit the brakes just before the van, but I wonder if it was just the trailer brakes.

It is more spectacular to always put the blame on the trucker, but in fact this time, the truck did cross the road. We need to learn why, as you stated.

 

I am not looking to blame the trucker or anybody else, necessarily. I was interested in talking to some truckers who have driven for Hester Inc. to see if they treat drivers well or put undue time pressures on them. The SafeStat rating for this company's cumulative driver violations was 88.4 one a scale of 1 to 100, with 100 being the worst score, and anything under 75 being deficient, and its drivers were taken out of service at twice the national rate. So it would seem this company may have a problem. Or maybe the figures are misleading. That's why I wanted to talk to some of its former drivers or current drivers.
