This has to be the 3rd or 4th BIG accident in the last few weeks.

According to a poster it was the second today for the area, with a Propane truck accident this morning.
Trucks are under special watch/concern and have been for the past two years.
My husband delivered Mobil gas in Kingman, for the local Bulk plant, using a 1,000 and 2,000 gallon tank trailer. This was in the late 1970's and early 1980's.
I watch/check on all the truck accidents that I hear of, about early December of 2003, there was one on Hwy 93 to Phoenix that closed the road for about 10 hours, the news kept saying they didn't know what caused it, and I never knew who the driver was.
The one near Seattle last summer was a strange one, it looked like he deliberately scraped the guard rail.
That bus accident in Texas that hit the bridge support, had driven on the right hand side of the guard rail for about 1/4 mile to hit it. He was or appeared to be muslim.
If one goes through the old reports here on Free Republic, and looks at the pictures, it will sure make a person think.
Yes, it worries me and it hurts to know that with 4 dead, there are so many lives now changed forever.
I still say prayers of thanks that Bill was never in an accident with the truck, except when a gal pulled in directly behind him and stopped, after he had started backing up, with God's help, it only dented her fender.
