Crash Involving PennDOT Truck Slows Traffic on Interstate 80 in Columbia County
About 08:00 in the morning. This should not happen unless we're talking about another "head down" situation.Barn Door Bill, Pumpkin Oval Head and RedBeardedT Thank this. -
Maybe he heard it on the TV or Radio? So no link?

If we're letting Trucking In Tennessee get away with posting photos of his television in lieu of links to articles then I think we can cut Pumpkin some slack here, lolaustinmike and jammer910Z Thank this.

SMH. As if PA State Police isn’t PO’d enough at truck drivers as it is!
drvrtech77 Thanks this. -
I dunno. It's becoming common practice for 4 wheelers to want to get in front of the truck before the lane drops, no matter how fast the truck is moving or how much space isn't available for them to do it safely. I'm the kind of driver that's going to hold my lane and speed and let them decide for themselves whether or not they made a wise decision. Leaving my lane and / or altering my speed would open me up to liability should something bad happen. Some drivers will leave their lane and take the hit to avoid smashing up the idiot 4 wheeler.jsnell and austinmike Thank this.

I'm doing it with my phone. Would you rather not see anything?Pumpkin Oval Head and mjd4277 Thank this.

Well I would argue in that case, the truck driver was still going to fast approaching a work zone with vehicles and personnel visible. Speed should not be such that somebody cutting in would require such a drastic evasive action
