    If she was having a medical problem she should have stopped way before ramming into the back of a big green garbage truck. Its not about having the lord in our lives its about having common sense and knowing when to stop.

    Responding to several previous comments. When I had a Motorcycle, I earned a masters degree in defensive driving, not that had anything to do with this incident.

    Anyone who has a medical “problem” needs to have it completely alleviated before their drivers license can be reinstated.

    We need a law that says if the driver was on the cell phone talking or texting at the time of the wreck the fine is 1k or license suspended. This has got to stop!

    This was a friend of my Nana’s and she actually had a medical emergency, not distracted driving. Shame on all of who judge and make assumptions before knowing the facts. You might need to spend a little more time talking to the Lord rather than being keyboard detectives.

    Y’all this is such a sad example of drivers today out there on the roads with US and with our families and kids and grandkids.

    Bless your heart, it’s BIG. it’s GREEN, it Stops a LOT usually at every house, it makes a Lot of Noise, and yes, we understand playing pok-e-mon is like really, really important but please practice some “Adulting” (EWWWEEE) skills when driving.

    No wonder. I don’t know they could see anything with that busted windshield.

    Glad the truck wasnt being loaded by hand. Might have 2 dead employees. Glad no one was sent to hospital

    Distracted driver! Distraction from either talking on a cellphone, texting, not paying attention to the surroundings and most of all not driving carefully and defensively.
    Remember the life you save may be mine…so put the phone away when behind the wheel!

    Looks like another total loss……any wonder why Insurance rates stay high ?
    If keeps-up we’ll be riding bicycles again.

    Looks like more typical distracted driving, karma at its best.

    Being a motorcyclist I’m more worried about a distracted driver taking my life than a gunman….

    What are these people doing when they can not see a BIG truck green in front of them?
