Prayers go out to your Line driver in Houston. Just passed his wreck. Looked it up when I got to my destination, and it looks like he was hit head on by a wrong-way driver on US-59 northbound out of Houston.

He is okay it appears, but the driver of the pickup died. He was also hit from behind by a dump truck who fled the scene.

Will link if I can find something.
 
Thanks for the info. This is a prime example of why we have such a dangerous job. Sometimes you can do everything right and these things still happen. Never a good thing to lose a life but at least our driver wasn't seriously hurt. I can't help but wonder if alcohol was involved.
My thoughts exactly. I would like to know. Over the last year my wife has become increasingly aware of the dangers of our jobs. She used to hear me say it was dangerous and be skeptical, but I told her to pay more attention to the news! Well, she has, and she's a believer.

Everyone out there is a threat, whether they know it or not. Even ourselves! It demands our utmost attention. This stuff breaks my heart, but tragedy of all kinds is a part of life. However unfortunate it is, maybe someone can learn from this. Maybe someone will be a safer driver because of it.

Maybe I'll kiss the ground when I pull back into Fort Worth!
 
Wow. It's a shame that the pickup truck driver lost his life, even if it was his own fault. RIP.

Any word on the SAIA driver? I really hope he's OK.
 
Rolled up on wrong way driver accident last week where 4 people lost their lives. Absolutely tragic,hope our driver is ok. I wonder what the dump truck driver has to hide ? Hope they catch em !
 
Man I hope our driver had his/her seat belt on. Just goes to show that anything can happen at any moment.

Be safe out there everyone and prayers to all involved.
