The death of Jimmy Mack and injuries to Tracy Morgan and others in his limousine are tragic.

And I need to say that we spend every weekend on I-80/94 travelling between our places in suburban Chicago and the lake Michigan dunes in NW Indiana. This stretch of highway through NE Illinois, NW Indiana, and SW Michigan is regualry packed with more big rigs than any piece of road in the country. And week after week we see way, way too many of these big rig drivers going too fast, following too close, jumping lanes without due caution, and tailgaiting cars and each other at high speed. Whenever there's a serious wreck on 80/94 you can betcha it involved one of these big rigs. There were two terrible ones last winter that killed several people and they were both started by some big rig driver going too fast for conditions and slamming into some poor driver just trying to get home for dinner.

I'm at once saddened and infuriated.

I hope he makes it.

I am glad I am off the road. I had some near misses.

You and me both, I do not miss that commute at all.

I hope Tracy Morgan will survive this tragedy.

A lot of time bombs are rolling on our partly totally overcrowded Autobahns. Those time bombs are overloaded old trucks with defective brakes and defective tires driven by overtired truckers from Eastern Europe. We had many many casualties here since the iron curtain teard down.

Another wishing him a speedy recovery.

He seems like an cool guy who remembers where he started out from.

I know my dear friend Ruthild was killed there when someone smashed into her friend's Ferrari.

Here is wishing Morgan a speedy recovery

It turns out that the Wal Mart truck driver had been up for over 24 hours and was dozing when he killed James McNair and gravely injured Tracey Morgan. :mad:

Almost always the same stuff everywhere. Truck drivers are forced to work under not acceptable circumstances, otherwise they get fired. Perhaps this here was also the case what caused the accident.

I was under the impression that trucks like this were equipped with a device that registered the time at the wheel. Or is that simply nanny governnent
