It seems 2 people shared this. Yes it's tragic.
But why do we give so much attention to this.
This almost always brings many smart comments, that are on par with drama. -
I share it because a few drivers leaving Gallup or Albuquerque may be advised of extreme delays through tonight while the investigation and cleanup continues. There's no way around it I don't think.
Also, it now appears there may have been a rear end crash at the back of the backup, on the EB side clear back at the J exit.
Looks like only the WB side is completely closed for now. There is an air ambulance crew in Grants which will help a few, at least until other airflights can reach the site from ABQ

x1Heavy, Oldironfan and #wishfulthinking Thank this. -
So sad for all involved. My heart goes out to all who have been affected by this.
Oldironfan Thanks this. -
I like when people share stories like this because it's easy to be complacent in our job and it's a reminder on how important what we do is and maybe after someone reads this they decide to put their phone down when driving.
Woodys, Smut, Blackshack46 and 11 others Thank this. -

You want a wake up.
Look for truck crashes youtube.
That will be all you need when you watch a car go head on with a 18 wheeler. Watching someone die instantly. Or the Paul walker crash videos.
Or if you need more look for faces of death videos. -
Well it’s informative. Plus, you never know. One of us here in the forums could know someone possibly on that Greyhound bus or in that semi truck.In addition, what happens on these roads could affect us all as CDL holders
x1Heavy Thanks this. -
I’m in Joseph City Az right now and was going to press on to the Route 66 Travel Plaza in Albuquerque as soon as I got this tire fixed. I saw this post and decided to stay here for the night. Would have been counterproductive to sit in that backup so I’ll just sleep here.
06driver, Trucking in Tennessee, mjd4277 and 2 others Thank this.
