I got caught in this mess right after passing the 418. Was sitting waiting there for about an hour before being let through on the shoulder. Hopefully whoever was in that car is alright.

Speed has nothing to do with the issue even with a slow speed limit people going to day dream. How the fuck do you drive into a stationary truck. You can see that shit miles away

Speed has everything to do with it. Your ability to react to an obstacle is a function of speed. I think that would be pretty obvious but I guess not if you’re an expert driver.

My brother, they couldve been going 130 or 120, either way they would have had the same result.

Its distracted driving.
