    Photo caption:
    An overturned trailer blocks both eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 in Hancock. Maryland State Police say a truck collided with a passenger vehicle early Tuesday morning.

    Story:
    HANCOCK — Two men died and a woman was seriously injured early Tuesday when a car traveling the wrong way on Interstate 70 collided with a tractor-trailer, according to Maryland State Police..

    It didn't look like the driver of the truck had a chance. RIP all parties involved.

    Heard the news a few days and it still hasn't sunk in. I met that driver 10 years ago as a dispatcher. He was leased onto one of the local companies here in town. He was a very experienced, competent driver and also a family man. It really can happen to anyone. Speechless. RIP driver.

    Your 100% correct, it can happen to anyone, yet some car & truck drivers seems to imply it can't never happen to them.
