re: Bad wreck I12 and Hwy 21

I drive this part of I-12 everyday. Westbound in the morning, eastbound in the afternoon.

The comment about cutting off Eastbound access from Pinnacle isn’t a bad idea. It’d need to be during peak commute times.

The comment about the typical driver stopping to look at the river is the age old theory that everyone likes to toss out there.


The real reason for wrecks like this is 18 wheeler drivers being allowed to pass on the left. If there was a stretch of 12 that said from 1077 to 1088 “trucks stay right”, the traffic and rubbernecking would drastically reduce.

This wreck was on video. There will be no doubt as to the reason why it happened. I feel like it could have been prevented though.
