Why are they covering this up, the truck driver was making an illegal turn, he was turning right when the arrow and a sign plainly indicate NO RIGHT TURN, Stevie Wonder could see that,
Oh yeah the county and police department dont get their pockets lined by Craig's parents.
If they would look into the drivers illegal turn and the marks on the road they would see the cause of the accident was not speed but failure to obey posted signs,by a driver who is suppose to be a PROFESSIONAL, he only makes me and other truck drivers look bad, and the worst part of it, The company drivers are still doing it, making those illegal right turns, and the cops and the county turn a blind eyed towards it. Talk about BLIND JUSTICE
