    She didnt see a truck slowing down to make a turn & ran under the trailier to the rear trailer axle.
    How did she not see a 13'6" x 102" vehicle ahead of her in broad daylight!
    Hmmm, how could this happen??? :biggrin_25513:

    I thought the "ICC" bumper was at the rear of the trailer . Sounds like more of a
    speed problem.

    I agree but it must be the trucks fault somehow. :biggrin_25513:

    Maybe following too close?:biggrin_25512:

    I'm one that tries to pay attention to what's behind me.. seems most don't give a hoot. . However, one cannot control it, it's an attempt to avoid

    Truck driver fault, not enough reflector on the ICC and probably had a clearance light out

    (Done in a sarcastic tone)
    Nearly happened to me on home time. Rolling along following this truck, and it suddenly went from 60 mph to 15 mph to turn. It scared me so bad I dropped my donut and almost dropped my cell phone into the hot cup of coffee I was holding between my legs...
