This morning pulled in to fuel greeted by police and EMTs. A driver stopped at the pump was walking towards the store she tripped and fell right in front of next truck. The driver in the next lane pulled forward not seeing what happened, and ran her over drug her 20'. Not sure if she made it. Although she was when they pulled away.

It's not intentional I don't think. They will probably place her into a induced coma for a while while they assess the extent of the trauma. It will literally be in the hands of God combined with the internal power of the human body to repair damage. Sometimes it's fatal because there is simply too much damage too fast or exposes a pathway for something else.NavigatorWife and Lepton1 Thank this. -
I've been to that T/A. There is a few blind corners in that lot if you're not careful you can get run over. Hopefully she'll pull through.
NavigatorWife, Lepton1 and x1Heavy Thank this. -
Sad to hear... All you new guys, when you walk in front of that fuel island, and I don't care which way you are headed, watch out for the nut job grabbing gears coming in to the fuel island to take his or her milk and cookie break, they will run your tail end over and not think twice.
I'm old and salty, been out here going on 30 years, totally disgusted at what I see, and it is not uncommon for me to chew some *** on these drivers. I had one nearly do the same to me just the other day, and I was upright with a yellow vest on, he missed me by a few inches. I waited for him to stop, and commenced to chewing his ***! He didn't give a ****, I wanted to plug him right in the head. You guys wake the F up out here. Please. See, I can be nice. -
I see it every #### day.Charly transportation.inc, bzinger, NavigatorWife and 3 others Thank this. -
I say this because I've been nearly run over there- and that's after looking both ways before crossing the lot. Drivers come flying in there either running out of time, or going to the Fuddruckers, or going to the casino, or all the above at once!Anonymousproxy, NavigatorWife, x1Heavy and 1 other person Thank this. -
Lepton1 and Rackpass 85 Thank this.

If you have been to that TA you have probably seen that the asphalt right in front of the fuel islands is really uneven from the heat and weight of trucks easy to trip if you have your head where is shouldn't be. If that poor lady lives it will be a miracle. The front wheel ran her leg over mid thigh, her torso was quite a mess. She needs lots of prayers and good thoughts.
