What makes her "didn't want to back up story" even more pathetic is that looking at Google Maps, there is a large gravel parking lot about 40 yards back that she could have easily backed into and turned around.
Low hanging wires maybe?

Its nothing really out of the ordinary. Mildly hot chick living above her means. 3500 square foot house, new Mercedes every 2 years, 2010 Jag, taking trips every other weekend, follows Bama on the road all season, and only makes 40k a year. You'd think she is in debt up to her eyeballs, but that isn't the case. She never lets her "primary" checking account get below 15k.

Maybe. I'll admit that I don't really know what I'm talking about when it comes to truck driving.

From the text, it doesn't appear she even considered such a move, so I'm not defending her, but looking at that google map picture, it's more than obvious an 18 wheeler with trailer can't navigate that well before you actually try to cross.
I hope they can repair it.

Nah. Her statement said she had intended to turn around in the lot you mentioned but it was filled with heavy equipment.

Although some Facebook commenters blamed the driver, many others blamed the school that certified her and the company that allowed her to get behind the wheel.

I think it might have had equipment on it at the time.

Ms. Lambright was aware of a parking lot further north on South Gospel Street and determined she could turn the truck around in the lot to get back to Southwest 1st Street. When she approached the parking lot she discovered it was full of heavy equipment and could not use it to turn around.
If you look further out in the aerial google maps, you see that see made the first mistake and then kept compounding the error. Like not using the Sav-a-Lot parking lot, or McAdams Mortuaries lot. Instead she kept going, took a left onto a smaller road and then couldn't take another left onto S Oak St. to get back toward SW 1st street.

I think we can change this to past tense.

I feel kinda bad for her. She obviously needed some kind of job but driving truck isn't going to be her ticket. Hopefully she won't beat herself up too much and get back out there looking for other means of putting food on the table.
Very much so. Amish? Never been around vehicles much. Shaky career choice all things considered.

Deleted because it sounded way better in my head.

I love this picture. How on earth did she think she was good to cross?

Looks like her Rumspringa is over.

In that situation, if she would have put on her 4-ways and called the local police they would have sent out a cruiser to block traffic and help her back out of that situation.
Ding!
It's happened to me before when I drove cross-country - delivered to Fulton Market in Chicago, to get back to 290 there's the train tracks at 12'6" and the tracks aren't marked for clearances. Picked the wrong street and wound up having to back out. Called CPD and they got enough people away from me to get out of there. No ticket, no harm. Just a little lost time.
A lesson they don't learn in driving school. Hell, all they teach in the CDL mills these days is how to shift and sorta back up. It's why the feds are stepping in to make minimal guidelines to shut these b.s. overnight cdl schools down.
