My husband was driving a tanker on hwy 12 and this guy passed him on the SHOULDER.
My daughter and I were in the slow lane getting ready to get off Hwy 5 as the truck sped down the shoulder to the right of us just to get away from the cops, he almost side swiped us, as well as the truck in front of us and the car behind us. Thank God everyone was ok. I counted 4 Highway Patrol right behind him.
Wonder if he was playing Jerry Reed’s , “East Bound and Down” at full volume !
Gitty up !!
