This isn’t surprising either. Many drivers on that hwy drive like idiots, including the commercial guys.
Editor’s note: Let’s recognize that two people have lost their lives, one of whom was not driving, and keep the discussion civil please.
and Dumbfounded was saying that if People DID NOT drive like idiots there would not be 2 people died.
Thank you Don
