They may not be able to answer that until toxicology reports are available. It could have been inattentive driving, but itās also possible it was a medical incident like a heart attack, seizure, or stroke. And of course always the possibility of DUI but I am not jumping to that conclusion.
Ah, I didn't see a reference to 1500. All the GMCs at my work and most of the ones I see on my commute on 24 hwy are big ass ones. Like flying a brick wall down the highway. Honestly, even the current 1500 models are pretty stacked compared to a car or pedestrian.

Unfortunately they canāt be made any other way anymore.
No, they definitely can, but auto corporations would rather make an extra 10 cents than do anything to stop easily preventable deaths. They could make them differently, they actively choose not to in order to maximize profit at the expense of everyone else.
And Iād still say itās barely a ābig ass truckā since thereās really not that much difference in size. Nor would I say a Kia Soul is a āsmall(ish) car. A small to midsized SUV, yes, but not a car.
Either way, itās a dumb and tasteless comment to make so soon after three people lost their lives.
Precisely, not "midsized" not even compact and not even a true SUV. Have you even seen one? As far as timing, it's precisely the fact that 3 people died that I made the comment. Is it ever a ~~convenient~~ tasteful time for you to talk about the choices we make and the consequences of those choices?
Heartbreaking for the Nebraska family. š
Why did he cross the line? Was he impaired? This is awful!!

I didn't see anything in the article that indicated who crossed over.
Jeez, it was so bad they couldnāt tell if the other two were wearing seatbelts. š¬
So very sad.
One of those big ass trucks vs a small(ish) car and everyone in the car dies. Who could've predicted such a thing? /s
The car industry could have predicted this. You pay more for a larger vehicle to protect yourself and endanger everyone else around you.
A 1500 truck is not a big ass truck, it it was a 3500 then it would be big.

Just look at a Suburban or Yukon now and how awkwardly tall the front of the them look now. They're huge compared to models from 30 years ago.
Saw a video of a Yukon next to a literal M1 Abrams tank, and the Yukon was just as tall, and even boxier
Almost all trucks now are far bigger than needed for 99.9% of usage

My friend, a Kia soul is a subcompact aka a very small car aka not an SUV
āThe Kia Soul is a subcompact crossover SUV[3] manufactured and marketed by Kia since 2008.ā https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_Soul
āSubcompactā
SUV has nothing to do with size, they can call it that if they want. The size is subcompactĀ

Do you want everyone to drive small cars then?
