Driver hits gator at 4am. stops in center lane. 18-wheeler avoids hitting him but car behind 18-wheeler reacts too late.

anyone who stops on the Interstate needs to go to jail. Even if in a fender bender, move it to the side if possible,

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

Damn. Lots of gators crossing the roads this time of year. Saw 2 around Houma yesterday that had been hit.

The original article was wrong. The van hit the gator and stopped almost immediately. The picture shows the gator right behind the van. The car behind the van couldn't stop and rear ended the van. The driver of that car died. Not the van driver. Very sad.

I was blowing down 290 in Houston doing about 70 and traffic started slowing up. This guy in a van with a flat was stopped in the far left lane. He was standing behind the van talking on his phone. His wife or SO was sitting in the passenger seat. What an idiot.

Trooper showed up and told him to immediately get off the road.
