    Yea it said the 4 wheeler was stopped in the right lane but no one knew why. It was probably broke down or something? That's over there close to that T/A Truckstop, not too far from the Brownsville scale. I think the speed limit there is 70 now.

    Rob, I saw this crash scene today, going EB on I40.
    It was the most horrible crash, I've ever seen. Two trucks and two cars... It was a complete mess of metal, glass and rubber. Really bad feeling about it. Pray for them.

    I rolled up on a bad accident on 78 in Memphis just north of the MS state line yesterday.

    The news report said, "Blew her drawers off."

    Yep, 65 to 70 is not that fast ... unless you're 300 feet behind stopped traffic then all of the sudden it's "too fast"

    I got my trailer washed out at the 182, 20 miles east of the crash.

    I had no idea what I was getting into when I left the truck wash at 4 pm, it was already backed up 20 miles.

    Then there was some chatter about another crash on the 100 (detour road I took to bypass the crash). Thankfully that one cleared up pretty quick, though.

    There was a bobtail crossed the median and kilt a 4 wheeler yesterday at the 160.

    white Volvo 'MPS' on the side.

    That's what your trouble was, Stiles. Close to my homestead.
