Ouch! Some people shouldn’t have nice things.
Not one inch of skid marks, not to mention the gator wasnt chained down.
Don’t know the circumstances, but I agree a big flashing truck should be easy to see.
Those pesky 60K+ pound, white, 12′-5” tall with flashing yellow lights are difficult to see at times.
