Perhaps if you were paying attention to your responsibility of driving you wouldn't have run into something that was right in front of you. LMAO
Lucky for you it wasn't somebodies family you ran into, you bonehead

Yes...there is more to this story...perhaps you saw the pgtv news clip and saw the police officer remove the beer bottle from the pick up ...or perhaps you read the newspaper that reported alcohol was a factor. My only question..who is that impaired at 8 in the morning?

For those of you who keep guessing at what happened.....stop. The driver had just gotten of his shift, so he obviously had not been drinking. Are those of you who work graveyard not extremely tired when your shift is over? Have some consideration for the families.

If the trailer was backing into traffic it was his fault. It is not the responsibility of drivers in traffic to dodge trailers or vehicles pulling out in front of them.

first of all no one was on the highway when the driver prepared to back into the private driveway (lights on ,flashing beacons)until he was all ready doing the reverse
move he noticed the truck coming around the corner
the other driver ran right into his trailer.

Now tell me how do you not see the low bed when its right in front of you on a long stretched road??

Yes he was just off of night shift 2 hours prior to this accident .....
hmmm a few to drink and some tiredness....explains it all!
