I admit I'm really callous when I hear about auto crashes. Throughout
my driving career I've witnessed the most atrocious driving habits of
the public. Also having lived in and around the DFW area for the past
28 years I'm aware of the terrible driving habits of people around
here. ( But it's typical of any big U.S. city ). When I heard about
this crash this morning ( having not heard any of the details ) I
thought to myself " that idiot driver was going to fast and smashed
into the back of that truck ".
Well ... sure enough a few of the details came out later today.
Police estimate the car was traveling in excess of 25 mph over the
speed limit for that road ( 55 in a 30 mph zone ). Amazing that the
police don't seem to put any particular blame on the truck ( or truck
driver ) for parking the rig there. Citing that it is parked there
quite often and that's it's in an industrial zone.
