Truck did not slow down! How many times have I seen this? Signs posted well before warning of road work, but yet motorists, including truck drivers, just keep hammering down. It does not make sense. See a sign warning of a lane closure ahead, but yet you have those who are going to race right down to the point of merger and if everyone would just start merging things could go much, much smoother.
5 dead because someone did not slow down.
My son got rear-ended in his personal car a couple of weeks ago by a state owned vehicle. My son was stopped at a light and it is estimated that the state owned vehicle hit him running 55mph. Lucky my son was driving a big SUV, he was transported by rescue to the hospital and later released. 4 weeks have gone by and the state of Va. has never contacted my son yet.
