Wow... crazy. :shock: :shock:

Wow, I feel for the families. That's horrible.
I wonder why there's no explanation as to why the driver lost control? Reporters make me wonder sometimes, they can tell you everything about the people and families involved but no mention of why or how the accident happend. :roll:

That intersection is notorious for accidents because the traffic light changes very quickly. Locals know it, someone unfamiliar with would be taken completely off guard by a light that goes from green to yellow to red in a matter of seconds.

This story has some detail, but is still sketchy

My guess is that it wasn't an accident.

Just a guess, mind you, but I think it was pre-meditated. :?

Don't know, one witness said the driver was leaning over/slumped on the wheel. When you come off the Stevenson (I55) there, it T's, he went straight. Latest news is he hasn't been charged, but is being questioned.

TF, are you thinking an act of terrorism or suicide?

off your meds again?

Just my opinion here...but if the guy wasn't unconscious, then he was probably talking on his cell phone and squinting at his GPS, while thinking that he was going straight through a regular interchange, from that off ramp.



Frickin idiots should be banned from the planet. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

has anyone heard who the guy drove for. news article say he took a blood alchol test and passed but refused a uring sample!! Supose he could have requested a blood test instead. I have heard they are more accurate.
