    thanks for mentioning this.
    you might want to send a note to ooida , they may call the paper on misleading info.
    or notify any one else you can think of.

    They wouldn't have gotten as many "Hits" on the story if they had just called him a Pickup Driver. Typical Mainstream Media reporting if you ask me?

    To be technical he IS driving a truck. Although, they titled it the way they did for obvious reason 👎

    So if he was driving a car they would say "car driver crashes"? No, they would say "driver crashes"...

    The typical reporter only works part-time. The rest they spend struggling to complete 5th grade.

    Proves how stupid these news reporters are that they can't tell the difference between a pickup truck and a semi.
