You aren’t jumping to conclusions to realize a dtiver drove into a well marked object in the road. If you are saying the driver didn’t have time to slow, swerve, or stop, that really doesn’t justify anything.
Boy, I love how everyone jumps to conclusions. How often have any of you come to the top of a hill to find something in the road in front of you? I have no idea what this man was doing and I won’t guess. I hope everyone is OK.
My husband drove a paint striper truck for 10 years and got hit twice by stupid drivers.People in a hurry and not paying attention…Big trucks..flashing lights …makes no difference.People just refuse to slow down and use caution sometimes.I was so glad when he changed jobs.
That is an industrial X-ray truck caring radioactive material. Turner specialty sevices. I worked for them back in 2007
Again,,,another pesky huge truck with flashing lights goes sneakin around ! But honestly I hope this guy is ok,,,,,, They work with flags waving, in reflective gear,,with warning lights and double the fine zones,,,,and they still cant do their job without looking behind them wondering if they will make it home,,,,,,thats pretty sad yea?
Clear skies, dry roads and big flashing warning lights.. I’ll bet someone had a cellphone in their hand..
