Two wrecks that show what not to do.

Says this was caused by not slowing down on wet roads and following to close, it was on I-85 in Va.

Some of these are uncomfortable to look at. Was this a fatality?

It didn't say and I know at least the one is very uncomfortable to look at but just meant as a reminder to not follow so close and slow down on wet roads and give the big rigs extra space.
We get people here in the Seattle area that drive like they are crazy and there are a lot of accidents every day. We stay off the freeway as much as possible.

Good reminder. I watch my rear view mirror like a hawk for such rigs tailgating. Sadly there are many out there!
