That is just plain sad. What a waste.

If I can offer a word of advice to anyone, it's this: PLEASE be careful around big rigs. Like the cop in the video said, you just have to be respectful of them.

My condolences go out to the families and the truck driver.

Yea I feel sorry for everyone involved and feel the lost for the family...

Always check the blind spots and becareful on the highways cause they are a dangerous place.. Being a truck driver I see alot of accidents happen as I am all over the place... I see alot of dangerous moves by mostly normal everyday drivers, but truck drivers have there bad times too..

I hope that this never happens to my while I am driving my rig.. I could only imagine what that driver of the truck is going through. I couldn't even imagine having someone go under my rig and then end up in a huge fireball and have people killed.. Just not something you want to happen..

It's very sad to see this kind of stuff.. But this happens everyday and until people learn how to drive the right way.. Unforuntunatly this will continue to happen...

In all honesty, 157 is fast, but not as fast as you think. On that stretch of highway (I drive it 3 times a day) you need to be going 130-140 to maintain speed in the fast lane.

Not that it's not awful and not that it couldn't happen to anyone with the larger blindspot on the Cobalt, but these are prime examples why our insurance on these things is going through the roof.
