Truck Crash On Donner’s Pass

The forums at TheTruckersReport.com is a gathering spot for truck drivers. Truckers have seen lots of crazy things on the road. Many of them they wish they hadn’t.

In today’s thread they discuss this fatal accident on Donner’s Pass that was caught on video by a Wal-Mart driver’s dash cam.

Here is the thread:

Kudos to the Wal-Mart driver. He seems experienced and totally under control in this scary situation. It’s a shame the newly licensed driver of the other rig won’t get a chance to gain the same experience.
