When I read this I started feeling sick. I don't know about anyone else but when I hear about stuff like this I feel rage. My heart goes out to the families.

Thoughts and prayers to the riders and their families/friends. Totally senseless act, I have no sympathy for the truck driver...hope he gets what he deserves.

Pretty much doing the same thing as every other car on the highway today. Seems like nobody pays attention any more.

This has got to be the saddest stories ever. My condolences, thoughts a prayers to all involved. Thank the fine people that pulled the riders away from the fire (heroes in my book).

Sure sound like vehicular homicide to me, Not paying attention driving a semi, come on these guys are supposed to be "professional drivers". Thoughts to all injured and those that have passed.
