take a breath, wait an extra light, get a cab, what ever it takes, get home to your loved ones alive, its not worth the risks we all keep on taking! some one died, doing nothing wrong, because of a bad decision by some one else, take the extra second folks, make sure its safe

thats been a bad spot for years i remember 1989 or 90 a fire truck hitting a car there

@truckerguy72 its a hard corner to get on to the highway, its hard to tell how fast traffic is moving, but this one was just impatience on the f150s part,

[MrHud2010]

Well documented, thanks for the truth with no bullsXXt added for effect! .

[KingOfAwesomer]

@MrHud2010 spin is stupid,everywhere we look some one has an agenda, thanks for the comment,appreciated

This is sad But I really wish people would get the story straight. The driver of the semi pulled his partner out and then got a chain and pulled the toyota out from his truck so they would not go up in flams. The semi driver is a hero in my mind.

[KingOfAwesomer]

@3girliesful i agree

@giannipoopoopants people cross to the left infront of oncoming cars a lot here,its a busy intersection and needs to have a proper left turn signal,

also entering the highway you dont really get how fast the highway traffic is,until you have merged,Most of the issue as always is people being impatient and pushing their luck.

Sadly its usually someone else who pays the price, as was the case here

That is horrible. My dad is a truck driver and he drives everyday to Fort McMurray and back. Too many people think trucks can stop like any other vehicle and they end up severely hurt or worst. They stopped the media from broadcasting the daily fatalities on hwy 63. It's not so much that the intersection needs an overpass, people need to be smarter.

[giannipoopoopants]

my dad had to tell his boss that his wife died at an accident on this intersection way along time ago. it is a bad intersection apparently althought i cant really see why

[haggard4k]

No more than 60k would be great from the Glenrosa over pass all the way to Reid's corner.

[ABFireman]

time for an overpass I think
