[TruckDriver]

I saw the video and story on the local news this morning. I guess it happened on March 31st. The video someone took pretty much took my breath away.

I wonder what the deal was there.

Suicide would be my first guess.

   I think the real story here is the woman ,driving her car, keeping up with the semi, shooting the the video and there is a child in the back seat.

  It was a accident looking for a place to happen and taking the video was more important than getting out of the way.

I saw this to i guess from what the news said the truck driver was diabetic and had some sort of trouble at least that is what they reproted and that is what the family said. that someone had to go that way though

I'd say she was in the passenger seat.

Why is it that every guy in Canada seems to be named Gord or Gordon?

I'd say she was in the passenger seat.

And BEHIND the truck., ie., "out of the way."

The driver was probably disgruntled about the high price of diesel.

Why is it every guy south of the border is named Bubba.

And they are on the opposite side of the freeway.

Man, what a way to go.
At least he didn't do a head-on into oncoming traffic.

Around here couple years ago, there was a family in a diesel pusher style motorhome that crashed in about the same manner. If I recall, the driver swerved to avoid another car, went into the median area between the north & southbound freeway sides, then fell through the opening on the overpass.

It was on the news last night. A guy saw the truck coming towards him, he went around the truck and when he looked at the window as he was driving by, he saw the guy in the truck unconscious

all I got to say is wow holy crap.  That is amazing that he didn't kill anyone else...he was driving down the wrong side of the highway at highway speeds they said for a while....amazing.
