    Yep, I just watched video. Would of been better ride out into snow. That’s a prime example of a driverless truck

    Icy road, several trucks following to close, possibly going a little to fast, not reacting to changes in traffic, not taking the ditch...


    Just a whole bunch of bad ju-ju all at the same time. Sad thing is that thus has become the norm, I see it all the time through there. I run 80 through WY every week all year round, when conditions go to crap I will do everything I can to avoid running in or close behind a pack of vehicles... Slow down, pull off for a while, run alone at night, ANYTHING I can to avoid the idiots.

    From what I can see in the video the conditions appear to be about normal for that stretch of road this time of year. I was through there exactly 2 days before this accident, and it was much the same... Like it usually is in the winter.
     
    Doealex, austinmike, nredfor88 and 8 others Thank this.
