0230am in Grand Rapids MI Metro, Car blows light and loses to Tractor Trailer

Every trucker who reads this headline and the story should contact the "news" outlet about the poorly-worded headline. Absolutely uncalled for the way it is presented. I'll be happy to be first.

 

2:30 AM no mention of the 4 wheelers BAC ,go to the link and read monte721's response

LOL, Community Engagement Specialist??? too funny. Apparently it's the politically correct thing.

 

there was an article in the paper on 2/28 that the car driver was super drunk if you read it Allendale is directly west of downtown and he on the far southeast side of the area

The commenters are coddling the drunk and his family. Well let me be the evil ####### and say it: My thoughts are with the trucker that has to live with the burden forever. The burden of not only having been the unfortunate instrument of a fatal wreck, but also the burden he will endure from his driving record being marred. Sure, it wasn't his fault, but this will always be on his record. Additionally, CSA and their infinite idiocy will surely find some way to fault the trucker, in even the smallest capacity.

The drunk changed the truckers life forever, yet the "journalism" mentions nothing about it.

 

hmmm said he was color blind and nearly 3 times over the legal limit....i hate that anyone lost their life....but he shouldnt have been driving...just hope the poor truck driver had his ducks in a row.....
