    In the words of Bones of Star Trek "................he's dead Jim"
    Really isnt much info on the wreck. Other than we can presume the dead driver wasnt paying attention.

    This is probably the 3rd or 4th Wreck Involving a National Carriers truck in less than a MONTH. Wonder if they plan to slow their trucks down.

    Dang, don't look like he slowed down at all. I hate to see this stuff happen, but it's good for the newer drivers to take note. Maybe some of us older hands too.
