I was going to say that I thought 18 wheelers were required to have those preventive gaurds, but from that website it looks like executives and corporations have found a way around it because they think adding or welding lower bars is too expensive and not worth the trouble and hassle to save people from almost certain avoidable death. I knew a girl whose dad was a trucker, he pulled off on the side of the road at night to take a nap. In the middle of the night a car full of teenagers went under the truck, beheading the driver and passenger and crushing and killing the other 2 kids in the rear seat. Their deaths could have been avoided but hey that costs money that to some execs is just not worth spending. It is sad we still have corporations who value saving money more then saving lives. Kind of like Ford and Chevy execs covering up faulty exploding fuel tanks in some of their vehicles because they figured it would be cheaper to pay the lawsuits to the killed family members then to pay to have the exploding fuel tanks corrected. What great morals.

Drunk driver? Doesn't look like he tried to stop, there are no skid marks. The debre is close enough to the car that the truck couldn't have dragged it off the road after pulling over.
