    Terrible! Those fellows were doing what we are are, trying to make a living. Prayers that the trooper recovers quickly and fully as well. RIP to the roadway workers and prayers for their families.

    How does something like this happen? The driver fall asleep, have a sudden medical episode, or hopped on something?? Drunk, perhaps??

    Given I-40’s history, a possible classic case of driver inattention. Truck didn’t move over like it was supposed to.

    My heart breaks.

    Such a stupid waste.

    Maybe safety should stop harping and preaching on the ####### mirrors and start teaching those steering wheel ox's to lift them eyes UP ahead.

    AND THMIK!!!!

    No worries,it’s all good. Both I-30 and I-40 are notorious for their accident rate.

    If anything I worry more about the potential for a wreck on I-30 than I do getting a red light at the Hope scales!!:eek:
