    Thats terrible. How freakin lazy or stupid do you have to be to not move over or slow down drastically when vehicles are stopped on the road or shoulder?

    Sorry for the loss of life... What a tragedy. When traveling in Alabama, the state has a new law that requires all vehicles to merge left PRIOR to approaching emergency vehicles parked on the right side of the road.

    Any normal driver that can read traffic would of got over way before he got there.

    Probably a new driver that doesn't know lane control yet or there are idiots out there driving. Move my foot and arm and slow down and lose 2 seconds. Holy cow, you are asking me to do all that? Now four are dead because of it.

    He needs a place where he can think about what he done. Maybe 10 years?

    Sorry, getting late, I read it wrong. First read sounded like all were on the pavement.

    Maybe it was medical?

    Very sad regardless.
