    They said he hit two vehicles prior to hitting the hotel as well.

    There’s a bit of irony here in that TMC takes such pride in their tarping and securement, and we have a rollback with a bunch of loose wood on it, and that fool just throws one strap and calls it done. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, that got me, too.

    Copious amounts of lumber are being hauled away and our intrepid reporter hasn't a clue what freight TMC was hauling.

    This is why civilization is doomed.

    The worst part is people need to be told.

    Bet they could report that a tanker hit it and blew up while showing the same footage and most people would believe.

    At least they have the lumber to board up the joint.
