What idiot leaves a vehicle in an actual driving lane on the Highway no less? If youre running out of gas pull over like ANYONE with common sense and get off the road! Unfortunately peoples lives may have been lost because of this stupidity.

To our stupid driver who abandoned their car: What did you think would happen when you left your vehicle ON the freeway?? As soon as you realized something was wrong, you should have pulled off immediately onto the SHOULDER. Does you gas tank gauge not work?? Cars these days have warning lights when you get low on gas. The light comes on, you gas up. Simple, right? Guess not. So….you left your car (did you even bother to put the emgerency lights on? Bet not..), got to safer ground and then watched as the whole scene played out in front of you. But hey, YOU’RE okay… If anybody dies – you should be charged with vehicular manslaughter. License revoked? Oh yeah… Back to driving school 101? Yeah All this because you couldn’t take the time to put $10 of gas in your tank to get you where you were going to before you got on the freeway?? Stupid.

stupid people who cant drive end up like this.

Wow, what a string of negative comments. The driver of the SUV clearly did not intend for this to happen, making it an accident. We all make mistakes each and everyday – some go unnoticed and some impact others in a very public way. Don’t you think the driver must be feeling badly enough?

Let’s forgive and have a little understanding.

No one has mentioned that she put the truck driver out of business till he gets a new truck.

I agree. I only ONCE ever ran out of gas, and that’s after driving for over 15 years, and I had no working gas gauge, either I didn’t even have a working speedometer, and never got a speeding ticket. All I had was a tach and an oil pressure gauge, the two most important gauges in your view. I also had a fuel pump go out on me on a highway recently, I had enough sense to stay in the right lane, so I could coast off of the shoulder, so my car wouldn’t get hit from behind by a blind moron.
