This is about the tenth time i've seen this set of pictures and the tenth different story to go along with it.
Everything from a heart attack, diabetic seizure, fell asleep, followed GPS....
I wonder what REALLY happened. :?

And they always seem to place the blame on some Immigrant or other "non-us" type person.
I think we should make up our own story here and wait and see how log till it makes it's way back. My idea follows....
A retired locomotive engineer well past his HOS on his first week solo gets confused trying to make it to his drop yard.....

Well if you look at the first pic above, between the truck and the hook, there is a road there. Could it be that they came up to the intersection and could not stop and a vehicle coming on the intersecting road caused them to steer right and simply hang on? Or somoene pulled out of that road and caused the driver to take evasive action and they cut left and were along for the ride then?

Yuo I read the same story somewhere else and did not see anything about driver being from Pakistan .Looks pretty bad and it does not matter where this guy comes from.
But i guess it is sooo easy to blame it on immigrants :evil: :evil:

Just for the record.......The foreigner reference was part of the original sequence that I received. I also thought that it was a rather cheap shot and will remove those references.
