yeah, you’re right, he probably couldn’t see out his windshield for all the logs he was carrying. The logs musta been obscuring his view of the road ahead of him, the truck just somehow knew which way to go up to the point of impact. (cue eye roll)

Yesterday was a very sad day as I got a call from my brother who is a firefighter as was called to the first accident and saw the motorcyclist dead. He left his work truck which was the dodge ram that was hit. As he went to check on the other trucker that was involved all you could hear was the logger truck who didn’t even hit his breaks to try and stop hit a parked semi, the dodge ram and the the firefighter chief. This second accident didn’t have to happen. So many more lives could have been lost yesterday due to a reckless trucker. My prayers are sent to both the motorcyclist and the fire chiefs family. Please everyone slow down.

sure are many complaints on these log trucks coming in from out
of state and speeding and disrespecting laws and driving carelessly !
I personally see it daily. I also see some who don’t disrespect us
and drive carefully. i’d think a full daylight only rule be enforced and
the Mills where they’re going do likewise . Law Enforcement is obviously
unable to do much !

I agree with you Dr. Atwell!! My prayers go out to EVERYONE involved in these tragedies, because no matter whose fault it is, I’m sure none of these people got up that morning planning to kill someone.

My mother and other family lives between the four and five Mile marker on 112 . When we are out in the yard we have witnessed big trucks of all types running extremely high speeds through the area. My condolences to the families involved. Totally uncalled for this to happen.

I grew up right there a mile over the bridge into Alabama… and those trucks have always been in mine , my mother’s, as well as any parents
Who lives out theres nightmares . when I was a kid, riding the school bus down 112, I could remember them blowing past the bus highly speeding, disregarding any speed limits and the saftey of any other motorists . They used to pass us so fast it would make the whole bus Rock! there really needs to be more law enforcement on that road, especially during school bus and work time traffic hours. This breaks my heart and I give my deepest sympathy to the families of this tragic event . in now live close to Beulah fire department myself. this hits home in more places than one
