I drove that area a lot for a few years. That intersection where I-75 (alligator alley) joins w/ 595 and 95 is particularly exciting as everyone coming off alligator alley has been doing 90+ mph for the previous hour+

I feel bad for the dump truck driver, all he was doing was keeping up with traffic, and ESPN jumps to the conclusion that he's guilty.

I grew up in western PA and was by default born a Steeler fan. It was great watching them as a kid in the 70s and 80s, but quite frankly, I pretty much lost interest after Chuck Noll retired. I knew things would never be the same again.

Used to be a Steelers fan, before they started kneeling to the commie god, blm and their abuse of Villenueva

Dan Rooney, son of Art Rooney I, and the father of current owner Art Rooney II, was one of the first "woke" democrats.

Art Rooney I, is probably spinning in his grave.

Many people were killed or maimed in the Civil War when they tried to stop cannon balls. When seen from head on or at a slight angle, fast objects seem slow.

I have seen my .308 bullets streak toward the target when the sun glints from them. 105mm projectiles can always bee seen leaving the bore, and tracked all the way to the apex.

Well, it seems that the dump truck driver did not leave the scene of the accident, and is cooperating with law enforcement.

Yeah, another reason I quit watching.

Before cell phones I had a left lane breakdown. I stood for about 30 minutes waiting for a safe break in traffic. A less patient person might have tried earlier.

A few years later I saw two little girls walking along an exit ramp. Ma and another guy both pulled over.

The girls wanted to walk to their grandmothers house. They stupidly crossed the freeway during rush hour and somehow made it.

Police arrived a bit later.

These girls were old enough to know better and likely had horrible parents. They even asked if I’d drive them to grandma’s.

He didn’t have to call AAA we have roadrangers that assist motorists. To get an idea what 595 looks like think Daytona speedway, only difference is the cars aren’t painted as nice.
