UPDATE: New Information on Tragic Accident Involving Child Struck by Semi-Truck While Riding Bicycle
AWFUL
Semis have to make wide right turns and sometimes run over curbs. Truck drivers can't see in their blind spots. This goes for people driving cars that don't move when a truck is trying to turn. I'm sure the guy driving the truck isn't doing well mentally. I've almost hit kids on bikes that came out of nowhere or ran out of garages at my apartment. Kids are quick. Maybe the guy didn't see the child or maybe the child thought it was safe to go. I hope the child survives. As far as the driver is concerned his driving days are cut short. Mine would be over no matter my age.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
what in gods name was this semi doing in downtown crookston with a grain trailer? 2 bypasses to go around town to avoid the narrow city streets. no elevator near downtown!
Prayers 🙏🏻✝️
Hopefully this prompts officials to restrict truck traffic in downtown unless they have a stop or delivery to make in downtown. Use the damn bypasses.
Old people shouldn't be allowed to drive
