Road rage?
Inattentive driving?
Aggressive driving?
Speed greater than reasonable?
All of the above?
? was the newly uncompleted paved road a part of the problem, it causes the vehicles to be unstable??? Was the one car speeding and trying to pass the truck while it was making a lane change??? Most cars I see on the highway seem to travel much faster than the posted speed. Hope all will be ok !!!
