While the Wikipedia editor's claim to "neutrality" is prima facia laughable, I have to agree, at least for now, that this particular vehicular accident doesn't meet the generally agreed-upon "notability" guidelines.

There are tons of bad vehicular accidents every week, the vast majority of which don't even make the national news. This one became notorious because of the driver, and it got rapidly politicized.

If he'd killed two dozen people, or the truck had exploded and was found to be carrying WMDs or something, yeah, I'd expect that to be "notable". Unfortunately accidents like this one are all too common these days.

If this story is still around in another two weeks, other than in the more clickbait right-wing sources, I'll be surprised.

You categorize this as non story, however it is clearly laughable that the Wikipedia presentment is not dishonest,
but you’re ok with that.

The story is legit and far larger than the actual incident, as horrible as it is.

It combines -all in one package- tragic and preventable deaths, roadway trucking & safety, Illegal aliens, sanctuary cities & their policies, Democrat soft-on-crime, news favorability & coverup and the Trump administrations efforts to provide for a safe & secure nation.
