thats what happens when you have 2 fuel tanks on each side of the truck

and something like this happened to a guy my dad worked with, but it was in a dump truck and his steer tire blew out. He managed not to hit anyone, but in his effort to save others, he ran into the sound barrier and died

it was a tragic day for that company, rip

well, my dad works with the drivers brother in law. the family believed he had a diabetic sezure or had very low blood sugar and became very confused/disorientated. i really know nothing about diabeties so i dunno. thats just what my dad told me.

the driver was in his early 25 years old. please include him and his family in your thoughts and prayers. rip.

No disrespect man but the coroner all but ruled out low blood sugar and he drove maniacally for like a couple kilometers before he finally crashed. He was seemingly conscious enough to not totally lose control and witnesses said he was trying to hit people.
