    Given that from 1st call to the crash, was 20 minutes, Im going to saybbit wasnt a medical condition and he was just Another POS who couldnt pull over and get rest. Hope he rots in jail and never drives again.

    Just wondering if the driver had something going on like a seizure. The body will freeze. May appear to be awake or asleep. Nothing the person can do about it.

    RIP driver

    Same here - poor response, or apathy.

    I was run off the road in Oregon on Saturday by a set of doubles - didn't even bother getting the footage off the dash cam. Just glad there was a 10' shoulder to grab.

    Another senseless death, smh.

    The cops can't be everywhere and it takes time to respond. With the number of calls they must get about distracted driving I doubt they are able to treat them all as high priority.

    I doubt it was a medical condition. If you read the article on tucsonnewsnow it looks like he was driving like that before and after stopping at a gas station before the crash.

    Rusk brothers out of sac looks like.
    Russians probably falling asleep or drunk. Not the first time.

    No offense, but you are supposed to get the footage off the dash cam and uploaded to youtube as quickly as possible so that we have something new to watch! But I understand.

    It doesn’t surprise me a bit... I have to keep a watch out for a lot of those hole in the wall outfits out of CA because of their ###### driving. The trucks are getting every bit as bad as the four wheelers these days
