This is the Local News Story concerning the death of Brother Larry Ellison from Yellow ATL this morning at 07:00. Brother Larry came to ATL in 2003 after CF folded. I am told this was Larry's first trip back from Vacation from moving his family to Arkansas to prepare for his retirement in approx. 3-4 weeks.

Our prayers go out to Brother Larry's family for their loss.......Jimi

It is a very sad situation and I feel bad for the driver and his family may the Lord be with them all.It is to my understanding the swift truck was on the shoulder and pulled out from it right in front of him and Yellow had no where to go.
 
Sounds to me like a horrific wreck caused by another unqualified driver . Condolences go out to his family .
 
Atl Driver Killed onI-85

How many times have we had Rookie drivers just pull out in front?I had a PAM driver some years ago do that,totally suprised me,only luck or a Guardian Angel save the day.I am afraid it is going to get alot worse!
 
Also another scene where the person at fault walks away unscathed only to go out and give it another try. Too bad.
