I hope that is not what I think it is on the rear door of the truck

 

Yeah, that's what it is

HOly crap. that was kind of disturbing.. but thanks for the reminder: we should always becarful out there.. everyone with a fast car thinks they are Nascar drivers..

 

Unfortunately, even those with slow cars think they are race car/professional drivers, so much to the point where they can 1) talk on the cell phone 2)read the paper 3) eat 4) eat, read the paper, and talk on the cell all at the same time 5) put on make up using the vanity mirror in the sun visor 6) talk on the cell while using the vanity mirror 7) read a map while driving 8)read a map while driving, and at the same time talking to someone on the phone who is telling you what to read on the map.

 

i'm guessing he didn't survive?

 

Just check out this website:

I was going to say that I thought 18 wheelers were required to have those preventive gaurds, but from that website it looks like executives and corporations have found a way around it because they think adding or welding lower bars is too expensive and not worth the trouble and hassle to save people from almost certain avoidable death. I knew a girl whose dad was a trucker, he pulled off on the side of the road at night to take a nap. In the middle of the night a car full of teenagers went under the truck, beheading the driver and passenger and crushing and killing the other 2 kids in the rear seat. Their deaths could have been avoided but hey that costs money that to some execs is just not worth spending. It is sad we still have corporations who value saving money more then saving lives. Kind of like Ford and Chevy execs covering up faulty exploding fuel tanks in some of their vehicles because they figured it would be cheaper to pay the lawsuits to the killed family members then to pay to have the exploding fuel tanks corrected. What great morals.

 

Actually, there is a guard. If you go back to the original posters post and click on the "more pics here" link and scroll all the way down you will see that there was a guard, but proved incapable of doings its job

 

Doesn't look like he lived, blood splat on the back of the doors of the semi. Eeek.

 

Drunk driver? Doesn't look like he tried to stop, there are no skid marks. The debre is close enough to the car that the truck couldn't have dragged it off the road after pulling over.

 

You can see his arm hanging out of the car in the second picture and there is a pile of blood and brains on the ground and the semi door handle in the pic that is on here....pretty gross.

 

Poor guy

I wonder how this happened

 

ummmmmm DAMN!

 

uh... ouch
