You know that nervous feeling you get on the interstate when you’re passing an 18-wheeler or you see one coming up on you in the rear view mirror? How much more nervous would you feel if you knew the driver of the 18-wheeler didn’t really know how to drive one and had little experience? From Gord Magill at zerohedge.com:
On Tuesday, May 6, another in a pattern of horrific crashes involving 18-wheelers in America took place, this time in the small town of Thomasville, Alabama, about a hundred miles north of Mobile. In a video that went viral earlier this week, we see a tractor-trailer drive full speed into stopped traffic at an intersection, almost as if on purpose. Cars appeared to be vaporized in the crash, or flung aside as if toys. Two innocent motorists were killed instantly, and four others sent to the hospital.
The driver of the semi, Andrii Dmyterko, 45, was arrested and charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter. What is notable about Mr Dmyterko is that he is in the United States from Ukraine on a work visa, and there are some hard questions to be asked about the trucking company he worked for, called “4 US Transportation Company” whose address was registered to a Pizza joint in Darien, Illinois.
