Shelby Hayes passed away Sunday morning due to injuries from the wreck as well. The whole family is gone now. I am an old family friend and I am grief stricken that something as avoidable as this has happened to this sweet sweet family.

This was a very Tragic Accident and I feel pain for all that were involved and their families. However, I have rode many times with an owner operator and have seen that most of the time cars create the accidents. I know that that was not the case in this accident but we do not yet know why the driver failed to stop. You should not always try to blame the truck drivers. Our country only surives by the trucks that bring us the things that we need to live and there are many many good drivers out there. My heart goes out to these families in this case(Oklahoma Accident) but you should not try to make money off of trying to bash all trucks

As tragic as this accident was, why would you inject the comment the truck was possibly traveling as fast as 75 mph? For your information, 75 mph is the posted speed limit on the turnpike in Ok.Pretty good attempt at a veiled insinuation that the truck was possibly speeding, even though the statement may have been factual, just include all the facts
