This is a non-update to an update: "We always want to make sure we give our community that we serve with transparency and facts ... and they're still developing."

It's been just short of 48 hours since the crash and they have not updated the public on who the semi driver was or his status other than he was treated for injuries and released. No word on where he is from, his CDL license or, heaven forbid, his immigration status.

Wait for it....

My bet hes a foreign driver, probably questionable credentials. If not the media would be rushing to report it wasn’t one.

Making a traffic stop is not an emergency and does not justify stopping on the side of an interstate highway. This is not a tragedy. It was an easily avoidable accident. How many times have we see this play, Motorists or troopers killed while pulled over on the interstate, before the practice is banned?

Traffic stops should occur at the next available exit.

Blue flashing lights, a hi vis. vest, and a gun do not make for an invincibility shield. Forcing traffic to “pull over or slow down” only increases risk to everyone else and provides a false sense of security.

Any word yet on whether or not it was caused by the driver’s Turban slipping down over his eyes ?

Haven’t driven that section of 40 in over a decade, use old 66 instead.
