    My GOD! That makes me lose my breathe.
    Scenes like that make me just never ever get back in a car or truck.
    I pray everyone was just banged up a little bit from that crash and that no life was lost.

    Why wasn't I surprised when I saw that FedEx was involved?

    Listening to the audio, I don't think anyone got a bruise out of that one, thanks to one attentive cop. This was on I-75/71 near Florence Kentucky. The one thing I noticed was how slow all the other traffic was moving....then out of nowhere...FED EX !

    I don't know the conditions, other than wet there.

    I do know that no matter how fast I ran at night here, which was sometimes 3 to 7 MPH over the limit, Fed Ex trucks would pass me like I was standing still.

    Same road, two trips a night, Fed Ex passing both ways, rain or not. I have had them pass me when I knew I was on the edge of a tornado. I have had the wind almost blow my empty tanker around, and had a Fed Ex with doubles go by me, wide open, weaving all over the road.

    To steal from that Steve Martin movie, "Nice goin', FedEx!".
    Glad no one was hurt.

    Did you catch the truck side swiping the cruiser at the 1:40 mark ?
    look again. too fast/too close for those conditions.

    Fed Ex guys think they can do whatever they want. They are exempt.
