Well considering the circumstances I’m glad everyone is ok especially since the log truck driver is my brother, so to the people talking about both their last names being capers it is coincidence, they are not related!

I have worked in trucks for over 20 years, and up until the late 80’s trailers were still being built without spring brakes. Meaning that until air is applied they will not lock. Mandatory automatic brake adjusters were not mandatory until the early 90’s. I wonder how many people who make these negative comments about trucks actually do a pretrip inspection every day in their vehicle. It’s amazing how even when it’s not the trucks fault, it is the trucks fault! Everything we use or consume in our lives goes on a truck at some point. Condemning all log trucks over a few accidents is like faulty every single person who drives a car for one person driving under the influence. There are some bad companies and drivers out there, but the overwhelming majority operate by the rules, that is their livelyhood. I now drive over the road now, and I see accidents way too often, I think that there should be an educational course on sharing the road with trucks, we cannot function without them.

Like I said before give the right of way. This area seems to be one that most don’t understand that rule. People need to learn what that is. Log truck driver probably saved the other mans life by swerving into the northbound lane. Thankfully no one was injured severely.

Thank you, LORD- that no one was seriously injured.

This intersection is very dangerous- too many vehicles going in too many directions.

What fishhook240 is saying is right but let’s not forget to mention what caused this accident according to what I’ve read. DON’T PULL OUT ON THE ROAD UNTIL YOU’VE LOOKED BOTH WAYS! Then you may proceed to enter the highway…

According to the FHP release, both had the last name of Capers.
