Slow down in those construction zones!!!
 
Here's a link to a newspaper story about a wreck in my hometown - how those people lived simply amazes me...

Speaking of construction zones, we were working an accident in the construction zone(one of them) on I35 SB yesterday and a 4 wheeler, just about had his plow cleaned by a Tango rig. The 4 wheeler slowed to rubberneck. I guess they will never learn !!

A potientially tragic story with a mostly happy ending. I'd heard about that wreck on the news last night. Whatta terrible mess but at least no one was killed. But it could've ended much worse.

Gotta be careful out there folks! Over 18-or-4-Wheels... slow down in the zones.

Oh and by the way, Greetings Malaki86! I'm a fellow WVian here. *tips hat and curtsies*

There's been a number of accidents in that particular stretch of construction (WV I-79, mm 135-137). I don't know if it's because it's all in rolling hills or if people are just plain stupid any more.

Hey - at least you're from the "big city" in WV :lol:

I like the construction zones heading east. The speed limit is 70+ and then you hit a work zone and it's 65... I don't even have to slow my roll at all :lol:

Sounds to me like the Tango driver was following to close, you are right, they will never learn.
