    I was about 15 cars behind this accident. A flatbed driver from ATS ran into back of Dodge Charger that was stopped for a rollover box truck in the median and pushed him into another flatbed truck. The ATS driver hit the car at 60-65 mph and never even applied the brakes.

    I talked to the driver and he didn't even seemed concerned that he just killed someone. He was more worried about getting a ticket and taking a piss test. I was speechless after hearing this. I hope he was just in shock.

    Sorry you had to go thru that. Thanks for the eye witness report. Wondering why the driver that just killed someone was at all concerned about a piss test. Pathetic.

    of course hes concerned for a test and ticket.... Itll end his career no matter what especially since he killed the 4wheeler driver because of his negligence.
