{"text":"On Sunday, massive pileups on Interstate 80 in southern Wyoming involving more than 100 vehicles that left three people dead and others injured occurred. Here's everything we know so far:\n\nMemorial Hospital of Carbon County spokeswoman Stephanie Hinkle said the hospital in Rawlins treated roughly 30 patients in the ER. There was some overflow into a cafeteria initially due to the large number of patients.\n\nAs of Monday morning, there is no overflow in Rawlins hospital. Emergency crews are still assessing the scene and the hospital is expecting more patients.\nTwo patients were admitted for additional care.\nThe two crashes involved roughly 140 vehicles in total, Deputy Jason Mower, public affairs officer for the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office, told K2 Radio News in a phone interview Monday morning.\nCrews are still working the larger scene, which involves about 100 vehicles near mile marker 184. The three deaths occurred in that pileup, Mower said, and the scene stretches for miles.\nThe other crash involved about 40 vehicles and, while no deaths have been reported in connection with that incident. \n\nSource: K2 Radio - Wyoming. \n\n","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[{\"description\":\"\",\"height\":965.0,\"name\":\"\",\"url\":\"\",\"width\":1439.0}]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

Everyone drives on a different level. Bad desicions. we can not asume this is from speed. there is no telling what caused this. an elk could have ran out in front of a car and they may have made the bad desicion. No telling. Hopefully there will not be anymore deaths that's all.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Okay, I will bite... \n\nWhich of your stated reasons isn't preventable? \nThe only one I see is because some animal ran out in front of you. \nNew driver? 140 of them? \nVeteran drivers? Well shame on them... driving since 19 now 62 and never one incident ever. Not so much as a ticket. I didn't get to that level by magic. I don't even consider myself a good driver. For me it was just common sense and knowing the laws of physics and lots of forethought and LOTS of practice in ALL weather conditions before I even got behind the wheel of a 18 wheeler out on public roads;\ndrove logging trucks off public roads for years.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Rawlins to Wamsutter was really slick and visibility was terrible on Sunday. One of the biggest problems I noticed was the trucks traveling in packs. If one truck messes up, whether or not the truck behind them responds appropriately, they can’t avoid the actions of all the trucks behind them. Everyone needs to respect each other’s space and allow everyone around them a much larger personal bubble. ","replyToPid":0}

929266 发表于 2020-03-03 13:23:12 Bring back the CB's!! Get the fkk off your phones, take your fknn earbuds out of your ears and turn on the fknn CB! I'm sure most of the drivers involved barely speak english.   I've been driving for 21 years and have learned a trend.  These fks that come over here from wherever, get a CDL, get thrown into a big truck, they don't care, they are driving down the rates and driving up the accidents!  These people get ran through a driving school like cattle some with \"bought\" cdls.  I saw a billboard once that advertised \"Get your CDL in one day\".  There was also a bust in Florida, some 7,000 CDL's were issued to non qualified people....all foreign mostly from Russia.

","text":"In response to the CBs specifically, I agree that it is important to have, but most drivers don’t pay or do the research necessary to configure them properly. It’s not exactly common knowledge. So for a lot of people, when someone tries to warn them of something or if they are trying to do it, it comes back as garbled static. ","replyToPid":338248}

","text":"Exactly what I was thinking might have happened. I’ve seen it before, but never to  a scale resembling this. Of course, if one person rear ends another vehicle and pushes it ahead, that could cause a chain reaction going forward","replyToPid":338271}
