I couldn't imagine losing my wife or my daughter, much less both of them at the same time. RIP
ETA: Should have read the article and not the replies. Still sad obviously.

I think *just* his daughter was killed.

I'm not seeing where it says the wife was killed?

She wasn’t. Just the daughter.

Very sad.
If you know this area then you know it's only a matter of time before something like this happened. That area is an accident waiting to happen.
quote:
The accident occurred at Louisiana Avenue at I-10 and is still under investigation.
quote:
The preliminary investigation revealed that 67-year-old William Rawlings of Killeen, TX was driving a 2010 Freightliner 18-wheeler eastbound on I-10 when he encountered slow moving traffic in an active construction zone. For unknown reasons, Rawlings was unable to slow down in a timely manner and struck the rear of a 2015 Dodge Ram pickup driven by McNeil.

For unknown reasons, Rawlings was unable to slow down in a timely manner and struck the rear of a 2015 Dodge Ram pickup driven by McNeil. That initial crash began a chain reaction involving a total of five vehicles. McNeil’s vehicle was pushed into Glasco’s vehicle, a 2017 Ford Escape. Glasco’s Ford then struck the rear of a second 18-wheeler, which in turn struck another 18-wheeler.
IYAM there ought to be prison time for something like that.

This is why I can't wait until Tesla can get the green light on its self driving 18 wheelers. This happens every year several times a year on 1-12 and 1-10. Dumb truck drivers all geeked up on upers.

18 wheelers should have their own dedicated lanes on interstates.
Posted on 1/24/19 at 10:44 am to Kracka
That's really sad and unfortunate. Poor guy.
Posted on 1/24/19 at 11:12 am to Kracka
Beyond horrible. Lord have mercy on them.
Posted on 1/24/19 at 11:12 am to Kracka
Terrible, prayers for family.

sounds very similar to a string of two or three unrelated accidents on I-16 near Georgia Southern a few years ago. Ga Southern students were killed in each accident on a stretch of interstate where work was being done and big rigs ran right into stopped traffic.

I remember that. 3 college girls killed by a texting 18 wheeler driver.

went back and looked. there were three wrecks in the span of 2 months each with an 18 wheeler ramming into cars on the same stretch of interstate. 5 people were killed in each of the first two and three in the other. the first wreck killed five GSU nursing students.

Unknown, my arse. Dude was obviously going too fast and not paying attention.
Truckers are the absolute worst.

That area is a shite show with the construction. Narrow, shifting lanes with a concrete barrier on the inside. I absolutely hate that stretch of I-10 between BR and Lafayette. Either direction I feel blessed to have not died along the way.
