I Hate to Read Stuff Like This

               This happened about an hour North of Eureka,where I used to live.

I've driven this section many,many times.

              Even sadder,he passed away after about 6 weeks in the hospital.

               The link doesn't seem to work,even though I have it bookmarked.

Seems that a guy was driving his '74 MG B along the coast,on highway 101,

just South of Crescent City,CA,& rear ended a tractor trailer that was stopped.

well it sucks but usually rear enders are the rear enders fault and he should have been paying more attention 

trucks dont slow that fast 

possibly truck turned out in front of him 

either way it sucks and i am saying this with no actual info

I am pretty sure I came upon that accident when we vacationed down there in June. The tractor trailer was stopped from the construction and the MG didn't seem to pay attention to the construction warnings of stopped traffic ahead. I didn't think anyone had survived.

LOL fucking Mike hahahahaha!

 

In all seriousness now that I've stopped laughing at Mike's comment, yes it is very common to see cars rear ending big trucks especially in Cali, people have 0 patience and always jumping ahead of each other as if getting to your destination 3 seconds faster will make your life better, I see one of those types of accidents at least once a month and in the majority there will be fatalities, trucks 55 cars 75 is a recipe for those types of accidents, add sudden stops to that and boom.

 

Sad story.
