    The linked sight wont play for me. Yet it is on YouTube as well. Nasty accident. Tho I am surprised that the Truck driver didnt bother to slow until he saw the other lane having the accident.

    Every time this happens is more fuel to the fire for the DOT to mandate driver facing cameras for all trucks in the U.S.

    If that truck was loaded, all people involved would have been dead. Even the driver

    That dudes dash camera said he was still going 57 when you could see what was going to happen in the other lane.

    Appreciate you pulling it from youtube. I found myself wanting to hit the brake just watching - long before the driver filming actually did. I'm certainly glad it turned out like it did, but maybe he's not totally on his game either.

    Tell me the tattoo on the driver's head is of a man mowing his hair? I love people who are brave enough to get those!
