Full title:

Another truck slams into parked Department of Transportation vehicle on Interstate 86, causes injuries

More work zone mayhem, basically. Be careful, drivers!

Just a few miles from home. Route 86 is pretty desolate as Interstate Highways go, especially in that area.

I HATED the weeks, months and sometimes years, when Beau managed road construction projects.

Too many of our family men don’t come home at the end of the day.

It’s not as bad as being a Military Wife (been that, too!) but it still sucks. :(

Having driven a big truck for years this chaps my buttocks:
“a tractor-trailer-type vehicle collided with a parked New York State Department of Transportation vehicle on Interstate 86.”

Not until the 4th paragraph do they get to:
“He added the truck had a similar cab to a tractor trailer but was actually a box truck, and may have been a FedEx truck.”

Box trucks are much shorter, much lighter and do not require a CDL.
“Reporter” Tom Dinki needs to get out and get a clue.

With that said I’m glad no one was killed.
Property can be replaced, a life can’t.

IIRC I-86 is pretty rural. I don’t recall a lot of traffic on it but that was a few years ago.

This has been a busy day for you with the Stupid Accidents Reports.
