Horrible crash in Lakewood CO, I70 closed both directions. 12 vehicles 4 semi huge fire

Thats probably his most prudent course of action. Apparently he held a Facebook live press conference to thank his donors. No word if he used an interpreter

 

The fun wore off decades ago.

The Internet and the freedoms afforded same is wearing off in this decade as expected. If someone did not like what you say and have the power to censor same or remove it it will be done. No trouble at all.

When everything has been legally inserted in a future law beyond saying Good morning how are you fine, how are you? fine and that's it. Nothing else to be said online. What is there then? Nothing. Just a enforcement system.

And I think in trucking for that kid to willfully ignore all that work and signage and still kill 4 people and hurt others, well... hang him high.

I keep thinking there are trucks in Cuba. But he came here because he can do whatever he #### well pleases with a truck even if it killed people.

If you want those 4 people lives to mean anything, then start testing their english. OR write signs in duplicate in Spanish, Russian, German, French etc to accomodate all the world coming here to truck.

 

Who made his bail?

that's the real interesting question

No way his "poor immigrant family" came up with 40,000 dollars cash.

Theres some story here and it's being hidden. He's going to skip and the story is just going to die out cuz there's something deeper at work.

Not that we have any journalists left to do any of this

 

I heard Ed Asner posted it

 

So your programming is complete.

 

Article I read said crowdfunding paid but I never looked to see the size of individual donations. Id be interested to know how he can skip....I would imagine they have him on a short leash.......probably checking in once or twice a day in Colorado and wearing a bracelet
.
EDIT. No bracelet
"In the meantime, prosecutors are asking that Aguilera-Mederos be ordered to wear a GPS monitor in part because he allegedly tried to flee the scene of the crash. Because Corry is hoping this situation can be sorted out in advance of a May 31 hearing on the issue, "I can't talk about it extensively," he maintains. "But based on my 25 years as a lawyer litigating cases, GPS is generally used in cases where there's a single victim and it's designed to keep an accused person away from that one victim. It's not really about securing an appearance in court. That's the purpose of bond. And having gotten to know Rogel, he's not going to flee. If he was going to flee, he would have done it already. He's committed to our defense."

 

If he's going to skip he has until I think May 30th. That's when there's a hearing about a bracelet.

There's also talk of this already being tried in the public which doesn't go over well. Especially for the public.

He didn't do this on purpose. You can't make an example. They can only do what the law says. People kill people every day by mistake and serve little time if any. He had two choices. Take the ramp which would end up in a crash. It's pretty violent to hit that gravel at high speed. His other choice was pretty much to kill himself driving off the road.

I think this kid has some pretty heavy backing behind him with resources. This will not be easy on the DA.

I say he will get very minimal time if any or probation. They can fine him anything they want but they're not going to get it. Maybe $25 a month until it's paid off.

I don't think we'll hear much more on this for a long time. Maybe years.

 

I still want the company owners to face some heat

 

And, if this was Lisa from Ice Road Truckers you would all be saying poor thing, she didn't mean it, let her go.

But this was someone from another country. The only thing that comes to mind is the towns people outside Frankenstein's castle with pitch forks.

;;; I still want the company owners to face some heat

Yes, I agree 100%. I think this is true with ALL the companies and the government should share some blame also. There should be different levels of a Class A CDL. Winter snow driving, Winter snow driving in mountains, driving in mountains. If your driving in PA you should have the ultimate endorsement. HOLY **** PA on those hills.

I was a programmer one day and the next I had my own authority with NO training at all hauling 47,000 pounds of steel from Mass to Vernal, UT. In my short 10 years of driving I was hit 9 times by new drivers!!!
I'm about ready to retire with my camper and I will NEVER park in a rest area or truck stop.

 

Maybe before she got fat

;;; I still want the company owners to face some heat

You are late to this party so I'll recap in case you missed it.....kid has a CDL issued by flatland TX for ~2 yrs....never left TX until he got the job at this company TWO WEEKS prior to the accident. Unbelievable how this company is not negligent in dispatching him across Vail.....but the media hasn't found these people. I'll tell you what.....they had their ducks in a row from a liability stand point when they set the company up.....$750,000 liability ins......LLC.....insurance and authority now canceled.....complete anonymity
