That's not funny man. Well....yeah it is but still. A man is dead, a family is in mourning, this is no time for puns however appropiate or funny they may be.
-
I wonder if his brakes were so far out of adjustment that they didn't hold when set?
-
Most likely he forgot to set the brakes. The man was 70 and probably couldn't move quick enough. What a way to go. RIP driver!
-
MAN I hate all these news articles.....they say the same thing when a truck is involved. The truck then "BARRELED" down the road.
-
Yeah, it's a real pisser all right.
Too bad about the driver though.
-
Wouldn't be the first older person to not set their brake, I'm sure many have seen this before:

There's a trucker that lives about a couple miles from me. He lives up on a hill and forgot to set his brakes. It rolled down the hill after he went in the house. It went over a 20' embankment and ended up belly up on the road.
Needless to say he was fired. Next time I drove through there he had another truck. -
It only takes one time to forget to set em' so I always double check before leaving the cab. Then when I get back to the truck I check to see if some idiot pulled the fifth wheel on me.
