Fatal On I-80 EB In Green River,WY

I can help with their investigation: The truck in motion drifted because the driver dozed off. Late-morning hours can be tough for anyone.

And, parking on shoulders of the main travel lanes needs to be ticketed, with zero tolerance.

 

We all see it every single day; drivers parked within eyesight of an exit or rest area. I blame poor training.

 

a lot of them that are stopping right before or after an offramp for either rest area or a truck stop are generally these foreign drivers I bet any amount of money that this is what they do where they come from and they think it’s perfectly OK to keep doing it here… Enforcement needs to step up

 

So many of these foreigners don’t have motorized vehicles, electricity, running water, sewer systems, etc, in the villages they’re from. They know nothing of this world they’ve been thrown into. Literally, it’s human trafficking/legalized slavery and they simply don’t know any better. But, it’s not just the foreigners; it’s newbs the megas have hired from schools, as well. It’s why I previously stated “poor training”. If these driving schools, including driver’s education in high schools, would spend just 30 minutes showing a video composition of nothing but pictures of the aftermath, students would have those images burned into their brains. Unfortunately, the responsible parties only care about pumping out numbers. They have zero interest in the futures of these people, because there’s no money to be made from caring. Greed proves that, every single day.

 

What’s the old saying. Follow the money always follow the money and there’s where the answer or truth is? Sounds about right.

 

I had one pull out infront of me off the shoulder at the end of a on ramp yesterday, he did signal. I couldn’t get over, as it was right passed a curve, on a hill so I was going slow anyway, about 60, then we crawled at 10.
He turned his blinker off no flashers or anything.

 

The 2 dead were father and son.

 

This crash was followed by another Sunday morning on the west bound side about 10 miles to the east of Rock Springs. Same exact situation. It was dark early AM but i could see the trailer was completely destroyed and the only part I could see on the tractor was frame and drive wheels.
Shoulder parking is dangerous game for everyone.
