So…they will not be removed until today?
And not a minute sooner.
News Story
Over a full day betweenOnly a few hours between the two accidents at the same location. Notable that both were hauling two trailers each.The first truck was hauling two trailers and crashed just before 9 p.m. Friday when the driver hit an abandoned vehicle that was parked on the shoulder of the freeway, smashing through the guardrail and plunging into the river. The driver was able to swim to shore and was not injured, according to the Sherman County Sheriff’s Office.
The second truck crashed just before 12:30 a.m. Saturday as emergency responders were on scene for the first crash. A semi with two fuel tanker trailers in tow struck an Oregon Department of Transportation vehicle, slid off the freeway and crashed into the river next to the first two trailers. Investigators said the driver likely fell asleep before the crash. The sheriff’s office said the tanks were empty.

An accident is unintentional, not unpreventable.
I was trying to wrap my head around if unpreventable was the definition would there even be any accidents
The sun exploding in a few billion years is a total accident.
The heat death of the universe will be an accident.

Ah yes I am in fact stupid. Sorry about that. My incorrect statement was based on half remembered information. They do try to avoid saying accident though. Here’s a random link I found on the subject: https://www.vox.com/2015/7/20/8995151/crash-not-accident
It’s just corporate bullshit semantics to try to take any responsibility off the company and put it all on the driver.

Isn’t that only 3.5 hours between them? 9pm Friday to 12:30 AM Saturday?
corrected, thank you
Anybody ever seen Squidbillies? “They said it can’t be done.”
I was wondering why the 5 or six heavy towtrucks were just parked on the side of the road on Saturday when I drove past that.
There was a group of people staring at it and talking.
I guess they needed a crane.
