    IMHO I think the truckers were using poor judgement and in fact putting others at risk . Look at the truck in the photo in the wrong lane on a 2 lane road near a curve . What if the suspect sues the trucker for damage to the Durango ?http://www.oregonlive.com/clackamascounty/index.ssf/2012/02/log_truck_drivers_nominated_fo.html

    Heros? No! That word is seriously overused these days.

    However...I don't think they were wrong in blocking the road and stopping the chase.
    They can "sue" if they want to but when the circumstances are revealed in court it'll get "tossed" any way....Besides those two ########## don't look like they could afford an attorney.:biggrin_25523:

    Those are exactly the type that get sleazy attorneys on a contingency basis to go after trucking companies .

    Yeah, they are....But it'll still get "tossed".

    DUI, High speed chase, Assauting a cop....Any judge is gonna take one look at that and say, "C-Ya!"

    You don't have to "afford" a lawyer these days to start litligation, there's lots of bottom feeders in that industry too.

    If they get sued, let me know I will send a $100 donation.

    I agree with W900, the word hero is way over used. Those were just citizens doing the right thing.

    Unless you're seeing a different photo, the trucks are still on their side of the road. The yellow lane dividing line is to the left. The area to the right of the white line is a roadside pullout or parking area.
