Another sign of how truckers and trucking companies value their schedules over the health and well being of other drivers: a truck driver in Mississippi fled the scene of a nine-vehicle accident on highway I-10 in Mississippi. The accident occurred around 9:30 pm on November 4, as overnight fog combined with smoke from a nearby controlled burn to make very low visibility. In the fog, one private truck hauling a boat hit a van, then pulled to the side of the road. Other vehicles slowed to avoid the truck and probably to rubberneck, as drivers will do, which led to a second accident in which a charter bus struck an 18-wheeler and another vehicle.
The trucker fled the scene so quickly that no one was able to get a description of the driver or see the name of the employer, typically emblazoned on the side of trailers. The driver is still at large.
