Please see comments on the bottom of webpages story. People are saying the trucks are speeding thru I-35 and they are the ones creating the hazard. Which is not the case. You don't have to sign up to add a comment on this newscast page. We need to let the public know how alot of these four wheelers are driving. My comments was by the name empty pockets.

That is a few miles from the driving school I attended. Let met tell you all the fout wheelers there are nuts. Free lane to the left, instead they sweep into your lane and slow down or go from the inside lane across to the exit just to miss becoming front page newspaper material by a few feet. They should work on the off ramps in that area. Two lanes going both directions? WTH!
Numerous head on collisions from truckers and four wheelers alike just trying to get off the freeway.
