The occupants then exited the vehicle and proceeded to walk on the highway within close proximity to that vehicle,” Syracuse police said in a 9:51 a.m. news release. “An oncoming vehicle noticed the disabled car and tried avoiding the vehicle, which was in the middle of the road.”

Also, who doesn't have the decency to get over when they see an occupied vehicle on your side of the road?


Yeah, a stopped vehicle in the middle of the interstate. I'm sure he was expecting or could even tell it was completely stopped on an icy, rainy interstate at midnight.

Every day in Atlanta I see someone on the side of a busy highway (45-55) or interstate (55-70) tying down a load or changing a flat, etc. I know people have places to go and stuff, but limp to an exit or call for help, it's not worth the risk.

JB won't burn in hell, but a short jail sentence is probably appropriate. When you're driving you control a 2 ton killing machine and have responsibility to operate it safely.
