    About 1:10 into the video, you can see skid marks up to the stopped trailer..

    Thats right the press ripped the driver for days..the press said tha he was speeding.. the chp reports estimate his speed # 52mph..the press spent more time ripping the driver apart..then reporting the facts...

    I was suppose to go that way this morning to deliever a truck. I forgot all about this until a coworker said something to me about 10 minutes before I left, stupid me. Anyway I had to take state roads more than I wanted to and just finished a day that was longer than it needed to be. And here I thought all the accident reports on here would not affect me, :biggrin_25517:.

    You should have seen the one I saw the other day. STUPID reporter was calling a straight truck a "big rig" and "an 18 wheeler" and "semi truck".


    From the video it was clear it was a straight truck with only one axle. Only 6 wheels on that rig. I wanted to just scream at the person. Of course they would not have heard it, but still.
