Fatal Accident On Highway 124 Story and Pictures

Fatal Accident On Highway 124 Raw Video

Some Facts:
  • Trucking company moving an OLD house did NOT get permits.
  • Truck has invalid license plate numbers.
  • Truck driver has NO CDL and speaks NO English.
  • Truck driver was moving the house at 5:30 IN THE MORNING...in the dark!

I bet the poor guy coming the other direction while heading for work never saw what hit him. It took his head off. It happened so fast and in the dark that he probably never saw it coming.
As of 11 a.m. central, the highway is still shut down as the Health Dept. tries to figure out how to get the busted asbestos-containing shingles off the road safely.

All i can say is wow and how the Hell did he even get that truck to drive it without no CDL?

Its a terrible thing to see the damage that havoc heavy equipment can wreak on the highway. Its even tougher to live with the consequences of an altercation with it.

May the Lord comfort you through your mourning.
 
I'm sorry for your loss,Marylyn.
