I don't know if you all heard this one, but just within the last week in IL, near St. Louis, a ST did was responding to an accident call, and I would assume was flying down the hwy, and a car clipped him or something, the ST crossed the median and hit a car. In that car were 2 sisters, just coming home from a family photo sitting. Just 18 & 13 years old...and the family had to bury them both on the same day. Talk about an unbelievable tragedy.

Hate to hear that kinda stuff. Just a reminder of how dangerous these roads are we take for granted and how life is so fragile. Prey for that family, the cop, and the sisters for sure on that one.

Well, I was coming through Arkansas and cruising down the interstate at about 65 mph....had the music on low country and it was just beginning to get dusky dark....I had turned on my headlights...just as another truck passed me with no lights on, not even park. I was in the East bound lane and I looked only to see an Arkansas "Bear" coming down the other side of the interstate. He apparently saw the truck with no lights on and he came across the medium..really fast and slid..........into my lane I reacted the way I was taught in school and did an emergency brake to avoid plastering the bear all over the interstate. He looked in the mirror and saw me on his ### and sped up......man I was sweating bullets by then, because I looked in my side mirror and saw the trailer...my trailer coming around...I sped up and my trailer straightened out... but this "bear almost made me jackknife....and he almost got killed....that was a stupid move on the "bear" but had it not been for fast thinking and reaction I would have killed this state trooper.
When I got cleared of that mess I stopped long enough to thank God for helping me and for saving the troopers life!
I don't think I will ever forget this moment...and it taught me alot about keeping your mind on driving and watching the other person......

Take care out there and be safe!

Do you see the pattern of really bad Arkansas drivers cutting people off? I just commented on another thread you made about an old lady in Arkansas..... I wonder if it was Rachels Grandma, or an Aunt of hers or some other family member. That entire family is full of bad drivers.
