[Army of One]

Ho lee fuk

Authorities say 27 people were killed in a Thursday night car crash when an apparently out-of-control semi truck slammed into several cars at an intersection.The driver of the truck has been charged with culpable homicide and reckless and negligent driving. Around 7 p.m. Thursday, the truck crashed into four full taxis and a Volkswagen Golf at the intersection of Fields Hill (M13) and Richmond roads in Pinetown. The brakes failed and prosecutors may seek to charge the trucking company as well.

The brakes failed and he's the one being charged with homicide. Screwed up. Terrible accident but makes no sense to charge him unless he knew the brakes needed to be changed or wlas negligent in not doing something to prevent the brakes from failing.

I drove OTR (OVER THE ROAD) for a few years. PST shipping, 53ft long trailers with a freightliner rig. A pro truck driver has to do a pre-trip inspection every single time after every single stop. stop for fuel, inspect before you go, stop to sleep - inspect before you go, etc etc.

just like your car breaks don't suddenly "go out", there are warning signs. his fault and the company... period.

Obama will call in an airstrike.

Horrible tragedy, but I have to say, "did none of them look to the right before entering the lane?"   If they had that would not have happened.

[Croatch]

That was one hell of a magic trick....encore, encore!
Now you see them, now you don't.....presto!
Enter dumb comment (when it's your time, it's your time). Or (everything happens for a reason)

Nasty, but 27? How were 27 people even involved? It wasn't a school bus.

i got hit like that... was dirving a minivan when a truck hauling mulch ran a red at 55 mph and crushed us.  a miracle nobody died.  3 of us in the car, dragged a few hundred feet as it slowed down.  mind boggling.  dude admitted he was going to fast and 'air brakes wouldn't have worked, so he just gunned it to make it thru.

the man driving the truck was clearly syrian.   I think you're either with the murdering truck driver, or youre with obama.

Did the fucker go to jail?

Did the fucker go to jail?

Nope.  We all went to hospital.  I had a fcked up back for a summer, something jerked wrong.   Scariest shit of my life, but at the time, i didn't think about it being scary.  More of, "Wow, our van just keep going lower and lower under the hood of this truck.  No time to think, nothing slowed down - just 3 seconds of the loudest fcking noise of my life as we're sucked under the front of this big ass truck.  then i guess we skidded out and were on the cub like, literally 1/4 mile down the road. 

i was on the clock, on te way back from hospital where i just got my head fixed up from a shelf falling on my head at work and stiched up.  Then hit my a mack truck on the drive back to work.  You can't make this shit up.

I guarantee you that whoever insures that trucking company is going to have their attorneys up all day and all night for many months to come...


Settle?


Yeah, right. There won't be enough cash available for a "Settlement" ~


Bye bye trucking company, bye bye insurance company... for the most part.

It struck 7 cars including 4 taxis. I had to look up where Pinetown was: I think the law is a little different in South Africa. The driver might be screwed anyway though.

Did you see the speed he was using while he was coming towards the traffic lights? His throttle must been jammed also, or he was gaining speed to make it while light is green. Well, he didn't..
