    Yup...that's the truckers F-up. Improper lane use. Either protect that right side (as in stay within 4' of the curb) or keep the trailer in that second lane (swing wide with the tractor). The lanes were wide enough that there wasn't ANY reason (other than incompetence) for that wreck.

    I dont get it. How could he not see the car, or why, heh. o_O Looks like he still would have hit the curb too, lol. I would blame it on the water cause that 4 wheeler ain’t to bright either.

    This vid was debated on here a while back in another thread. Not much of a debate really. The truck driver clearly had an I. R. Stupid moment.
