Allan, Ever wonder why the US is adopting what has been the standard practice in Europe for years......picture signs, not verbiage signs? Let's get some facts first guys, ok!

I have co workers that witnessed the aftermath of the wreck on their way home. I grieve too for the victims and their families.

NAFTA opened our borders both North and South. Gonna tell me that all the truckers coming in can speak English? What difference does it make what you speak. We're talking about crossing the median (a ditch) and winding up in the oncoming lane.

North bound there you are coming off a pretty good hill. The road curves to the right. Trees block your vision. The speed limit is raised from 55 to 70. There's a bar ditch between lanes (can see it in the picture of the tractor cab in the paper) Lots of things could be going on.

Let's hope he wasn't on his CELL PHONE!!!!!!!!!! if he has one. Texas Legislature just canned a bill restricting the use while driving. Another one for the Lobbyists.
