    I would have just shot holes in the DEF tank causing the computer to shut the engine down.

    ^And then they would end up calling a hazmat team just as a precaution to make sure said DEF isn't contaminating any local water supplies.;)

    The Trooper said the semi driver was looking down right before impact and he thinks he was “updating his log book” at the time!!!

    I think one thing that nobody has noticed here, was the abject stupidity of the trooper. You NEVER try to stop any vehicle, let alone a big rig, that way!
    If I was that boy's supervisor, he would be looking at some heavy beach time, and then when (if) he came back to work, some serious officer safety training.
    I won't comment on the driver, as his actions speak for themselves...

    Since he's an illegal immigrant (probably) he will be out of jail in no time ! Thank Obama. Illegal immigrants have more rights than the rest of us

    I thought DEF was nothing more than Urine + Purified Water :shrug: How is that able to contaminate the water supply? I mean, it's not like water treatment plants discriminate...

    Urea, a constituent of urine (and sweat), actually, but close enough.

    Even then as a precaution any spills like that they would call hazmat. Not everyone gets their water from water treatment plants.
