Another needless loss of life
« on: September 19, 2010, 12:01:24 AM »

Another example of the hazards in riding crowded interstates.  A wooden pallet in the middle of I35 north of Austin.  Wonder if the dirtbag that lost the pallet even had a thought about losing it.  Sad and completely avoidable by the driver of the truck that lost it.  Wonder if they will ever track him down, I doubt it.

What a shame, people that travel the highways and let things fall off their trucks should be left to stand in the middle of the road in rush our and see what they think.  Our prayers go out for the rider and his family.
