Not only that...The Walmart driver was entering a construction zone. He'd probably driven the route many times before.

No one knows boo about the Morgan car. Funny how that works.

Any drugs in the Morgan car?Any drugs in the drivers rig?

According to a preliminary report issued by the National Transportation Safety Board, Kevin Roper was going 65 miles per hour at the time of the crash -- 20 miles per hour over the speed limit.

"About 0.4 mile south of the crash location, speed limit signs were posted that reduced the speed from 55 mph to 45 mph," the report said. "A preliminary review of the data showed that the Peterbilt combination vehicle was traveling at 65 mph for the 60 seconds preceding the collision with the Mercedes-Benz limo van. NTSB investigators are correlating these data with the physical evidence."

The report also said Roper was operating within regulation maximum consecutive driving hours, though the board is comparing his log with other documentation to determine its accuracy. Regulations limit truckers to driving a maximum of 14 hours at once.

Roper had only logged 9 hours and 37 minutes of driving time when the crash occurred.

Those ‘construction zones’ are often problematic. Sometimes they’re just repairing guardrails for a week or so, and sometimes it’s a long-term bridge-build which takes years. The article doesn’t really specify.

Here’s in PA, we only have 2 distinct seasons: winter and construction. Heh.

If the gov’t-media has its way, we’ll probably never know about drugs in Morgan’s van, but the truck driver’s last fart will become evidence and headline news. (Sorry)
