The crash is still under investigation, but the Dispatch noted poor driving conditions as Hurricane Michael brought “heavy rain and winds, in addition to some tornadoes,” to the region.

If weather conditions are poor enough to 'cause' the wreck, then maybe you shouldn't be driving fast enough to do that much damage when you run into something. If he hit the fire truck hard enough to kill/seriously injure four people, there's only two possible reasons: he was going fast and hit it hard, or the firemen parked their truck WAY too close to the accident where they were.

Monster semis hauling more than one trailer and/or too massive to see or navigate around have made driving unpleasant and more dangerous. They eat up roads. It used to be truck drivers were the best drivers; now there are some total idiots in charge of these things. It does seem that lawmakers, both political parties, have no inclination to regulate them.

Who was the semi driver? Was it some Mexican who doesn’t speak or read English?

Laws, regulations and extreme ‘Just in time’ scheduling force drivers into dark pigeon-holes of unsafe activities if they want to keep their job.
