So very sad, families are in our thoughts and prayers.
"The truck driver, who was not hurt, was Barry K. Smith, 39, of Columbia Cross Roads."
What was this tanker truck hauling?
Everyone please be careful, no tractor trailer can stop quickly even while going the speed limit.
Pay attention to your rear traffic, use your mirrors, you may have the right of way BUT if it looks like someone is coming on your rear too fast try to get the heck out of the way. I have had to do this in the past.
big trucks needs to stay back some
This is very sad.
We must relearn to drive in the wake of increased truck traffic in our region now and the coming decades.
Please be cafeful all.
I returned home (harrisburg) earlier from the wknd in PoCo, at my place near Germania. I traveld Rt 44 south. This road is hideous, entire sections are simply polverized to gravel, and then I pass two tankers, tractor trailers no less, and you know, they tend to take their half out of the middle. None of the roads up on the norther tier are adequate to handle this new beating. You folks better get on the phone to your legislator and get complaining now. Typical PA style, jump in head first and worry about the repercussions later.
My thoughts go out to the deceased, the other injured parties and their families
Sorry poster 10:24, Fast Eddie is too busy making an ass of himself on Fox news to worry about our road conditions North of 80!
i hope the one in the truck gos 4 live and live
