    as bad as that is, i still believe that the lawyers for Graydog, are going to find the truckers at fault.

    all he has to do is find 1 NO parking sign, or just simply look up codes regarding ramps and parking.

    How does the bus driver manage to do that? Someone's gonna pay a lot of medical bills at the very least

    I just saw this on another news feed - both said 'exit ramp' - and by the looks of those photos of the bus and the trailer, that bus must have been coming in pretty HOT.

    It is illegal to be parked on an Interstate and ramps are part of an Interstate Hwy. Now, that doesn't mean the bus driver isn't at fault, all this will be played out in a court room.

    That’s the thing-Greyhound’s buses are always flying and coming in hot. This one was no exception!!

    The irony of it is this week Illinois started their Trooper In A Truck program, and one of the things they were supposed, be looking for, is distracted, driving and speeding!

    true for interstate but various from state to state about ramps. Ramps going into rest areas will have no parking signs up to the point were you are allowed to start parking
