    The truck was a Watkins Shepard. I love how the article says the semi hit the car, then says the car was going the wrong way on the interstate, then again says the semi hit the car. Seems like it was the other way around to me.

    I left a comment on there about that bit. I get tired of that kind of thing. The guy was possibly drunk, going the wrong way and the semi hit him? He hit the semi.

    It's not in the news story, but the story around the office is that the guy was running from the police. But the semi hit him....

    Gotcha.
    Funny thing; I never heard a thing about this until I saw it here on the forums. I guess that's what I get for not watching the news. That and lower blood pressure.

    I hear ya. The only reason I heard about it is because W/S is a small company. It happened around 11PM, and it was circulating the office at 7AM.

    Well, I'm glad the driver is okay. I'll reserve comment on the jacka$$ that hit him.
