Drunk driver for Quebec trucking company dead after 123-vehiclepileup in Michigan
GALESBURG, Mich. - Police say a driver for a Quebec trucking
company has died in a 123-vehicle pileup along a snowy Michigan interstate that caused fires on trucks carrying fireworks and acid. Michigan State Police Lt. Rick Pazder says the Friday morning accident killed a trucker and injured at least 23 people who were taken to hospitals. He says investigators believe most vehicles were in westbound lanes. Investigators say all hazardous materials from the crash have burned off. By Friday afternoon, authorities had lifted advisories for nearby residents to stay inside. Authorities are blaming snow, wind and poor visibility for the accidents. The crashes occurred in eastern Kalamazoo County, near Galesburg. http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/driver-f...cking-company- dead-after-123-vehicle-pileup-in-michigan-1.2181123 |

I don't see anything that precludes the possibility that the driver was stone cold sober and simply hit a patch of ice that caused him to lose control and participate in the collision. It's insulting to the memory of the driver to declare him drunk without a scintilla of evidence. The report you cite says that snow, wind and poor visibility were to blame, not drunkeness. How would you like someone to add the word "drunk" to a story about your death when there was no justification for it? -- Rhino |
