It also has been said he came over a blind hill upon the previous accident.
I have witnessed Con-Way doubles "driving" hard along Chicago area highways. This I feel is the result of management pushing drivers to the limit. Con-Way needs to visit it's policies and kept the drivers and the public safe.

I am one of those chicago drivers and if you really seen unsafe driving it was by choice not forced by management...and can any REAL conway driver honestly say that thay were forced to do something illegal or unsafe...and if you were so concerned about this form of driving y didnt you call linehaul....DO you have the number

Maybe he was talking to her to make sure his earrings were in correctly....lol

One News Article even stated that a Safety Vehicle is S.O.P. for a situation like this but there wasn't any communication between the State Patrol and the Sheriff Department. No matter if he is found guilty or not , this man is going to go thru personal grief and self torture the rest of his life.
Years ago I was involved in a accident in my own personal vehicle that was not my fault. No one was killed but it was bad. To this day , every time I go thru that intersection it haunts me. I ask everyone , PLEASE stop attacking this driver. Even if he gets ticketed for it , this was not intentional. This is a tragedy for the Driver and his family not to mention the family that was killed. We need to have some respect for all involved. No matter how safe we try to be , ANY ONE OF US COULD BE NEXT!!!

Agreed. The state should have had a safety vehicle or at the very least, another trooper back at the crest of the hill with his lights on.

I see what I see.....I am drive I80, I-94, I-294, and I-65 all the time.
I do not feel on this accident he was at fault until the final report comes in.
Fingers are being pointed at everyone at this point.
BUT, I do know from comments from pass and current drivers pressure is there make time on the road.

I have seen all kinds of negative posts in this thread but I have yet to see any asking how the driver is. We all know how the family of those who died must be and my prayers go out to them.

If anyone knows this driver personally, how is he doing? I pray that God will help him through this difficult time. Please let him know that many are praying for him.

Phyically he's fine. Mentally probably not so good
