My one question;

When switching lanes HOW DO YOU NOT SEE A FUCKING DUMP TRUCK BESIDE YOU??

I'm assuming that's what happened, the super duper truck managed to push the dumper into a pole causing mayhem

because some people are retarded as fuck, and dont deserve drivers license (or the right to breathe).

"Traffic was rerouted around the accident scene, causing heavy, miles-long back-ups. Some drivers said it took them 45 minutes to inch forward a quarter of a mile."

Quote :

"Gerardo Alexander Hernandez, 32, of 1505 Huntdell Main Drive, in Wendell, was driving a dump truck southbound on Capital around 1:30 p.m. Witnesses said Hernandez was in the right-turn-only lane at the intersection with New Hope Church/Buffaloe Road and ran a red light. The dump truck collided with a pickup driven by Enrique Galicia, 33, of Raleigh, who was turning left onto Capital. Hernandez did not try to brake before the accident, police said. The vehicles traveled more than 80 feet before coming to a halt. The dump truck slammed into a power pole, snapping it off and causing a chain reaction that pulled down three other power poles. That brought down traffic lights and power lines into the intersection."

maybe he was coming home from wake tech

This is why humans shouldn't be allowed to drive vehicles.

I really wish dump truck drivers would look out for things like red lights, turn only lanes, and cars coming from the other direction.

This is why humanshispanics shouldn't be allowed to drive vehicles remain in this country.
