    I have never posted in this section so I hope I'm following protocol . I also hope I can successfully add this link.
    Dave was a good driver, a good person and a good husband. He had been with us I think about 14 years. I do not know his overall experience. But it is a stark reminder but if we let our guard down for one moment things can go wrong in a hurry.

    Driver dies after crash between 2 semis on I-70 in Lafayette County

    Thanks. I do not have any comment but it is terrible. I sympathize for the family.

    Not to diminish his death, but stop tailgating

    Don't judge without knowing what happened. Jumping to conclusions isn't called for.

    Sorry for your loss, it’d suck to lose a coworker, especially in that way.

    Condolences from Ohio. Sad, sorry. Any day could be any of ours' last, unfortunately.
