Re: 6 Dead in Oaklahoma Crash
Reportedly 6 girls in a 4 seat Chevy Spark. Apparently they were doing a U-Turn in front of the semi, which was fully loaded with stone. He couldn't stop when they pulled out in front of him. They were all going to lunch (or coming back to school) at the time. There are already flowers at the site. A pretty heavy loss for a small high school. I'm sure the parents are devastated. Reports today that witnesses said the girls did a "rolling stop" and then went through the stop sign. Someone mentioned that they thought the girls had looked and cleared one way, saw the truck and assumed it was turning off, then looked the other way, and pulled out, just in time for the truck to hit it. The truck driver is reputed to be a good guy, volunteer fire fighter in his hometown, etc. I'm sure he will carry this with him for the rest of his life. |

Re: 6 Dead in Oaklahoma Crash
I hope not, too. If you look at the aerial views, he had all his brakes on when he hit the car. It's nothing but skid marks from the point of impact, so he wasn't off in dreamland. Luckily, he missed the telephone pole by about a foot, too, or he might be dead as well.

Re: 6 Dead in Oaklahoma Crash
Very doubtful he will face any charges, no evidence at all that he was doing anything wrong unless they find out he was speeding excessively. Other than that, he seems clear on the traffic laws, they pulled out in front of him.
