Cmon guys and gals... this is not a circus. brash comments are not needed. No matter the circumstances a driver lost his life and that needs to be the main concern. A family is without its provider, father, husband, brother, son....
KE5WDP, mitrucker, Giggles the Original and 4 others Thank this. -
Very sad when something like this happens. And all those with wise ### comments well, at any given time you could be in a construction zone doing a safe speed, 4 ways on and all, you just never know. a sad lost at 42 years not old enough to be gone, but old enough to leave a young family behind.
Giggles the Original, ultrikeflyer, mamamullins and 2 others Thank this. -
Yop, life sucks at times when you can't control what happens around you. We work in a VERY dangerous environment. Honestly, I don't think most drivers really comprehend HOW dangerous it really is.
I feel for the driver, but that doesn't stop me from also saying to someone their comment isn't needed either.mamamullins and SmokeyCowboy009 Thank this. -

You have zero proof that any comment will be made on his record at all. ZERO. -
HwyPrsnr Thanks this.

Actually is should not affect his record it was an unavoidable not at fault. I would say he did everything right on his part and deserves a hat off salute for it.
As for the driver who lost his life we may never know what caused him not to stop or slow down. I had a freightliner once the only way to take it out of cruze was to kick the clutch,or hit the switch on the brake the engine would actually speed up. Was there a mechanical failure? was he distracted by someone in his mirrors ? Could there have been another vehical that contributed to this accident but was not directly involved in the outcome. We may never know. -
Again notice the name of the trucker that rear ended the 1st truck, obviously another trucker from Croatia or one of the neighboring countries. I guess he will be asking for an interpreter when he is questioned.
