What fricking idiot doesnt get the frick off the interstate after an accident? Jesus, not only is he dead but I'm sure the person who hit him will be mentally ruined for @ least a while

If you see an 18 wheeler slow down then change lanes, doesn't that tell you there might be a problem?

yeah, I just "get it" on that bridge no where to go. Spillway is a different story, I've changed an alternator on the shoulder of the spillway before.

I know in Europe you have to have a road flare, a safety flag and I think a Vest in your car at all times.
I think it's not a bad idea to adopt that here.

Maybe he thought it was a person or it damaged the car. That is a shitty way to go.

calling a guy who just died an idiot is pretty classy.

Not when I lived there.
That was 12 years ago though.

Your average driver in Europe was a lot more considerate of everyone else. People really see driving as a privilege there.

He stopped in the middle lane of I 10 and exited his vehicle at 4am.

Yes, you can automatically assume he's an idiot

What kind of van? How big was the gator? How much damage was done once he hit the gator? Was it possible to move the van or was it too damaged?

Now, why would he ever need to exit the vehicle?
