[Barrett Masso was behind the wheel when he felt the full force of a Sysco big rig at 55MPH as it collided into his car, stalled on the side of the road. He said he was stopped on the far right lane of the Highway 92 eastbound with his hazard lights on, waiting for a tow truck when he saw the lights of the semi in his rear view mirror.
“Initially I thought he was going to change lanes like the other vehicles ]
Well, duh. Sit in a travel lane long enough and something bad is bound to happen.
The article doesn't state if an emergency lane was available, but we have all seen those dummies let their vehicle come to a stop without attempting to get off the travelled portion of the highway. One of my big pet peeves is somebody pulling over on the narrow left shoulder to change a tire.
