    If only there had been a middle lane! The box truck would have been in it and this could have been avoided... bad highway design.

    Did the stupid driver stop? The video shows the truck going on down the road like nothing happened.

    Uhhhh no... This could have been avoided if the idiot driving the box truck was paying attention... No cars passed the trooper before or after the box truck, what was he doing that he couldn't merge into the left lane like your supposed to?
     
    tsavory and Grouch Thank this.

    I was surprised that the trooper didn't immediately go after him. The truck was (for the most part) outta sight when the video ended & the trooper had never moved.
     
    Big Don Thanks this.
