I guess it may have been in the early 2000’s that I attended a State Trooper’s Coalition Seminar in Denver. I met up with a Trooper from the Denver area that told me the following story: (I’ll try to keep it short.)

A Colorado Trooper had been accused and arrested of child molestation. He was out on bail at the time. It was either the day before or a few days before the trial was to begin, that the Trooper drove up into the Rockies to a point where he patrolled. He parked his car at the bottom of a long stretch of the highway that was straight and the 18-wheelers could get their speed up to 80+ mph.

As the semi approached the Trooper, who was standing by his car, he walked out into the path of the oncoming truck. Most of us have seen the remnants of a deer that was hit by a semi, so you can imagine how much was left of the Trooper. The truck was stated to be going 78-82 mph.

The Trooper that I was speaking with told me that they had to have a bio-hazard team in their white suits go to the area and pick up the pieces of what was left of the Trooper. He told me that there was just a small blood spot, unlike when a deer gets hit. I would think that he must have seen no other way out and was desperate to get past his issue.

I guess by his actions, he was telling everyone that he was guilty. I can tell you without reservation that it would not have been a good thing for him to go to prison. It’s bad enough for pedophiles to do prison time, then add to that the fact he was a State Trooper, who may have put some of the prisoners in their cells.
 
Good grief, I think that's the worst accident I have ever seen!

I also read an update saying the driver will be charged with many counts of vehicular homicide. Mechanical failure is being investigated; drugs/alcohol is ruled out.

Seems there was a stopped traffic jam due to a different accident up ahead.

So sorry for all the families whose Dad or Mom never made it home from work.
 

When I saw the headline I texted my sister right away....her hubby works in or near Denver and her daughter lives and works near there also.

Thankfully none were on the road!

But not all families were so lucky.... very sad!!!

I agree with you, 911.

Like you, I had to check on my son/dil living there. They are away from that area, both work & living.
 
Oh what a relief for all of you who have relatives living in the Denver area who could well have been on the motorway when this happened.. thank goodness they're ok...

Yep, I do this with every headline that is a mass shooting or major accident....my first glance is to see where it happened.

Always relieved when it’s not in a city that I have loved ones in....still sad though because someone does.
 
I'm increasingly cautious when driving near large trucks anymore. There is a nationwide shortage of experienced truck drivers, and some of those being hired today would be "iffy" behind the wheel of a VW Bug. A fully loaded semi, barreling down the Interstate at 70+MPH, is one second away from a massive crash if the driver is distracted.
