Looks like some Christmas presents might be a little late! I hope everyone walked away from this boom-boom without injury...we've had enough sadness already this year.
 @CaptchaThis I was just thinking the same thing - someone's presents are gonna be late =)
hope the driver is ok and people give a little more room
 @censoredirawoody How trucker get in the mess?  If he or she wrecked because of speed alone they should get cuffed and sit a night or two to think about the possibility they could have taken out a school bus. Pot shows up on wiz quizes, alchohol, meth, herion, pharma dope  are out of system in 24 hours. Most truckers are professionals some are not. Slow down and live folks.Â
@drinkmorewater absolutely, and i am feeling all christmasy so I hope guilty or inocent i hope the drivers ok on the 26th then I want them stomped but for this week I be all kind and stuff
