    Not KLB! It was England vs. Old Dominion. England apparently attempted a U-turn.....and it didn't work out. I know the poor OD driver's mother....she is devastated! The young driver for OD leaves behind two young kids and a wife. If indeed England attempted the U-turn, the is a multi-million dollar insurance exposure for England.....as it should be !!

    I contacted the Greenfield Reporter and hopefully will find out who they were.

    Before I read it was a fatality, I had a very funny joke. Now, not so much. RIP driver. Not much you can necessarily do to combat that level of stupidity.

    A C.R. England driver....

    I’ve seen busses do it too. I almost got one the same way once here in MD at the 70 MM on 95 near the house.

    That’s the first thing I thought when I saw the picture. I can’t imagine much of any other way the Target trailer could have wound up perpendicular to the roadway like that.

    You act like drivers just never do anything that makes NO sense. If that was the case, a LOT of crashes wouldn't have happened. Used to be the case that like 90% or more of the crashes involving a truck were the fault of the other vehicle...these days I'm not so sure.
