    My prayers go to the family and friends. The drunk truck driver is another story. His family needs prayers also - not their fault.

    Get your story straight.... A woman, with her 3yo grand daughter in the car ran a stop sign at a blind intersection and went straight into the path of the FL truck. The FL truck left 6 ft. of skidmarks before hitting them. The driver was told by the Trooper that the only way the accident could have been avoided was for him to have stayed home. The driver was going 54mph in a 55 and was 100% legal.

    I agree the post is old BUT if there is a correction to be made, more info given to get the FACTS out there why complain?

    IF your not happy about someone adding to/responding to an old post then please dont take the time to read it muchless responding to it.

    In this case maybe poster wanted to clear up more lies/misinformation about truckers???

    I will just say that " I was the first one on the scene". It is like reading the newspapers later that week and they made it look like the FL driver was at fault.
