    "Police found the co-driver of the semi about a block away at an RTA stop. He had gotten out of the truck before the accident because he didn't want to drive with the other driver anymore"

    There's a LOT more to this story. And why was a big truck in a residential area, anyway?

    I guess i'll add to your accident incidents. On Jan. 15th '96 i pulled into that little rest area on i-75 by mm-24 by Monroe Oh. just south of that truck stop. me and a o/o were traveling together and the only place to park was on the on ramp, we were legal but i was somewhat close to the traffic and felt uneasy but to tired to go any further.For the first time in my career, i slept in the drivers seat because the feeling i had, it was real creepy and never felt that before. About a hour later a slow moving truck was coming into the rest area and was hit in the rear by another truck,the crash woke me up, that truck had his cab torn off of the left side and exploded into flames and all the flaming diesel fuel and his burning cab came along side of my trl. just behind my tractor and set my trl. on fire. I wont go any farther into detail, but i heard that driver burn to death. I will go to my grave with the sound of his voice.So when i hear or see these newbreed out here acting with no respect and not realize on how fast a life can be taken', ya, i get really upset.
