ATLANTA — A fiery crash between a CSX train and a semi-truck shut down MARTA and part of a busy area of Atlanta’s westside.
The truck scattered what looked to be Amazon packages up and down the street.
Emergency crews said it appears no one was injured in the crash, but the driver of the semi-truck is nowhere to be found.
Why it took hours to track down the driver LIVE on Channel 2 at 4:00 p.m.

How odd. The driver ran off after the accident - apparently he didn't want to be found. And they won't release his name. I know I'm jumping to conclusions, but..

It’s not a long jump these days. More like a hop or a skip to conclusions.

Is CSX that 200 mph train that’s been killing people right and left?
To: Not_Who_U_Think
He must be pretty strong to run away with a train.................

Just check the nearest Waffle House to the accident that’s where you’ll find the driver.

It could be that fugitive wife killer Dr. Richard Kimball. He's been known to run away from train crashes.

I heard that you could see sandals and curry flying out of the truck.

Maybe he teleported to the waffle house. Apparently that’s a thing now.

Suddenly I'm thinking of the short story "Critical Mass" from Arthur C. Clarke's Tales from the White Hart.

Why it took hours to track down the driver LIVE on Channel 2 at 4:00 p.m. Perhaps he was playing Hide and Sikh.

He’ll be easy to catch, he’s trying to carry a train!

That’s funny, I just got done reading “A Sudden Case Of Sunstroke”.

Or trying to “curry favor” with the authorities?
I’ll see myself out.

It was a white semi.
Perhaps he got caught up in a wedding dress?
Reporting these days... short on facts.

The investigation is surely going to involve DOT, you just know it.
