    Holy s***!!
    I think I need a change of underwear after seeing that!!
    They might bring back the hangman’s noose for that driver!! The minute that truck appeared out of the fog everybody was running for their lives-and generally not all in the same direction either!!

    Frickin Moron Semi Drivers anymore- Im Truly Sick of the stupidity.......

    Im Going to Start Slapping these drivers around like we got growing up in the 60's 70's and 80's........

    I Hope all those responders are ok and they Beat the living #### out of that Driver- Or lack there of.

    And Don'r start with the- "it can happen to anybody " routine either.

    All could have been easily avoided, if someone would just invent a cb radio. The troopers could have put a couple of flares out to warn of an accident ahead too, instead of just working an accident in bad visibility.

    driving too fast for conditions, will be at least one of the charges.

    Is Common sense not used or taught to the lower IQ these days?

    Do these schools really pump these people into trucks without any recourse?

    Just hammer down through Pea soup Fog.......Keep them wheels rollin Johnny

    After the driver is fired, and does his jail time, maybe he'll show up here looking for work.
    I'm sure everybody will give him the advice and sympathy he deserves.
