hansgruber Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 My wife was driving and overtaken by this speeding truck. She wasn't surprised to see it crashed when she caught up to it. It was raining hard at that time and he took that sweeping corner at speed. Sorry for the innocent Burmese guy getting killed. Wrong place wrong time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almer Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Its just total carnage, nobody died of covid yesterday but 2 died plus however many more due to reckless driving, many of these idiots are incapable of realisation of the possibilities of a collision.
