    Rest of the story

    This was absolutely horrific. My husband was just 3 truck lengths behind the truck that flew over the median. He said that the truck "blew his doors off" going up the mountain. He said it was the worst thing he has ever seen in his entire life.... amazing how quick a life can be snuffed out with because of the recklessness of others.

    OMG! I live in Carroll county GA and there is no hwy 77 here. Yet, still the headline made my heart skip a beat. Even though I know my guy is in Florida right now! :yes2557: Honestly, I swear I worried less when I was dating a Marine stationed in Kuwait during the first Gulf War.
