"The first responding officer indicated the flames were at least 30 feet into the air, so the Jeep was fully engulfed," said Sgt. Tony Slocum. "There's no indication at the scene that the driver that rear-ended the Jeep ever braked. There are no skid marks. We believe the Jeep was rear-ended at Interstate speeds."
Hate to say it, but I hope they loose the key when the close the prison door.
4 kids, 3 adults killed, Jeep crushed/burned between two semi's

Didn't slow down? No skid marks? I bet money he was one of those guys you see playing with his phone. Last week I was following a tanker truck ...placarded, in the middle of the day and he was eratically All over the road. It was so bad I was afraid to even try and pass so I just hung back waiting for the final moment. I was so glad when he finally took that exit. Such a shame for those people and their families. It's no wonder people hate truckers.

If this driver has any conscience at all, no matter what the legal outcome is, he has to live the rest of his life as a very tortured soul.
