    That's ridiculous, no way that scumbag in the Western Express truck could claim he didn't know.

    When caught he should get flogged with a sock full of pennies

    That happened on US 35,near the Ohio/West Virginia state line. Looks like the flatbed driver may have been too fixated on the Qualcomm GPS. The system likes to tell drivers which direction to head at the last minute.

    You’d have a heck of a time pulling him over. That stretch of 35 becomes a 2 lane highway once you cross into West Virginia,and it stays that way for about 25 miles,almost all the way to the I-64 junction.
    And that’s if the initial impact didn’t compromise the cooling system.

    I drive for Western Express and I’d be chasing him down.

    Glad the other driver had a camera.

    Yep, I saw that too.

    Edit: if Western Express needs an expert witness, I can be had for $500 an hour.
