This just shows how much impact and devastation took place.
Makes you really think and reflect how you drive both your work vehicle and personal car.


A car seat and bicycle hang on the back of a semitrailer after a family of five was killed in
crash on Interstate 65. The Workman family was on its way to a Disney World vacation
in Florida.



A toy truck sits among broken glass on the back of a semitrailer Friday after five people
were killed in a crash on Interstate 65 south of U.S. 231 in Crown Point.
The family was riding in a pickup truck that was crushed between two semitrailers during
a traffic slowdown on the interstate.



The front end of a semitrailer driven by Forest S., 58, of Huber Heights, Ohio, was smashed
after hitting the rear of the Workmans' truck, pushing it into the rear of another semi.

My heart, my thoughts and my prayers go out to all involved in such a horrific/tragic accident. My mind tends to wonder after seeing and hearing such dreadful news. I think to myself... "This could have been me...This could have been my family...and in a way/sense... it was.". Life is too short, and you never know when it's your turn to go. Please say a prayer or two for all those involved, family members, driver, drivers family and all police, medic and fire responders. Its truely a sad day. Be safe while out on the road, there are those that are depending upon you to make it home. God bless.

You are exactly right...I have refrained from comment here because I couldn't find the words...This is extremely painful, period...and it does indeed give you cause for pause...There are just no words to describe the sorrow felt over this..

Same here, I have no idea what to say, or that anything I might add, could possibly express the emotions evoked. It makes you fully realize the tiny rope we all balance on, each and evey time we venture forth on even the most mundane run. After years and years of doing that which we do on a daily basis, and NOT having anything similar happen, you become complacent to the possabilites of that, and worse, each and every time we pull out of the yard......I remember talking with Bill F. (discussed in another thread) once, asking how I could be absolutely sure I was operating in a SAFE manner every night, he told me to stay home, and find another line of work.

My thoughts and prayers are with the driver, his family and all those touched by this tragic event. I hope they can find some level of Peace, in the midst of an otherwise horrific experience.

You are both 100% correct in what you say on this. What CAN a person say? After the Military and many years on the road I have come to ONE conclusion. Any of us could be next. I do not live like I should but I was raised in Church. ONE thing I do know and that is there is a God Above. Sometimes we can't understand the reasons certain things happens but we were never suppose to. We are not God. We must find strength in the fact that no matter what happens God is there for us if we ask him for help. We are ALL so small in the whole scheme of things we are like the song says
"DUST IN THE WIND" Even as small as we are , GOD DOES CARE about us!!!
Didn't mean mean to sound like a Preacher (Which I am far from being) but I myself have only been able to keep my sanity thru the years with Gods Help.

man does this really sink in. Too bad for the family, my prayers go out to them. Was our driver hurt? How is he emotionaly? 65 is an ugly strech of hi-way, way too many crosses
