    The only cure for idiocy that I know of is death.

    Even then though, there will always be two more idiots for every one "cured."

    This guy never should have been behind the wheel. One news article says he tested positive for meth 6 weeks prior. He also tested positive for meth after the crash. He's wanted in Wisconsin for drug offences. I know some companies are hard up for drivers but wow. And you can be sure there's many more like him sharing the roads with us.

    This guy is toast. The grand jury indicted him on 13 charges. A small carrier, such as this will likely have to go bankrupt. I doubt that they could pay a lawsuit for that much money. It was reported that the driver was traveling at 77 mph when he hit the cars. The posted speed limit in that area is 55 mph.
