Colorado trucker gets 110 years for crash

Aint he that guy who "couldnt read the signs" as his defense? Then changed it a dozen times?

Good riddiance.

 

Good. He killed innocent people and further gives this industry a bad reputation. Any good driver with half a brain wouldve put it in the ditch and killed themselves over innocent people.... He deserves to die in prison after he decided to " close my eyes and steer into the stopped traffic" . what a piece of ####.

 

I 100% agree with you on putting this thing in the ditch before I hurt innocent people and someone else's family. Not gonna do it. I learned that from my Dad when I was young and he was an owner operator.

It sucks that this driver can have such a negative impact on the rest of the industry. I'm glad he is no longer behind the wheel and putting other people in danger.

 

Yes and if you take the ditch and survive, you merely be finding another line of work rather than rotting in prison for a hundred years.

 

i could care less he said he had "no intent"..

to me, by passing a safer way to stop that rig, (such a a runaway ramp) and continue on, to me spells of intent to save himself from getting roughed up a bit as the truck hit the ramp.

good riddance, one more jerk off the road.

my only hope is that if his lawyers appeal this case, that they lose.

 

Tough Crowd,

I’m just wondering how much mountain training/experience he had. My trucking school in Texas had no training whatsoever and with myself just having experience being a city driver I’d definitely be at a low experience level for mountain driving.

I have driven through that stretch in Colorado and those runaway ramps are kinda intimidating looking, the ones that go straight up, so I just wonder what his experience level was.

This sentence is more fit for a serial killer. People who actually intended to murder are getting far less sentences then this guy.

I believe in justice. But a touch of mercy sometimes is appropriate.

 

he did put a negative impact to this industry. almost the same as those drivers who dump their garbage everywhere they go, are killing the good reputation of us. drivers who haul for cheap rates are killing this industry. He, the driver who killed so many people because he decided no to be careful while driving. we, the ones who decide to be nasty pos when we throw our garbage anywhere. we, the ones who haul cheap loads , because we decided no to be disciplined with our money........we screw it up for other innocent people.
I hope you guys have a nice holidays!!!!

 

The news media gave this industry a bad name 10 years before that idiot was born. After that idiot killed those people, the magistrate or judge should have come out to scene with the coroner and had him executed on the shoulder of i70.

 

If you recall, right after this happened, he tried to get a flight back to Cuba. That in and of itself tells volumes about his knowledge of his own guilt.

 

Like this song,,,

 

He showed no mercy to all the people he killed and their families.
