Was a horrible accident. I was maybe 100 yards behind hit. I was in tractor trailer pulling doubles and a dark red Taurus behind me in delmar near wawa was driving erratically. Changing lanes constantly trying to go around me I suppose finally pushed the mini van next to me to go fast enough to pass me. Soon as he had little hole basically cut me off and flew going at least 80. Mind you it was pouring rain. After he passes me I see him ahead in and out of lanes. Next thing I know about 100 oe 200 yards up he lost control of it and spun into on coming traffic and was t boned. It was 2 younger gentleman in the Taurus had Florida tags. It's a shame I can only hope it wasnt the innocent person in the south bound lane that lost their life due to his ridiculous irresponsible reckless driving. Merry Christmas to all and remember nothing is that important to possibly take a life or lose your own. We all need to just slow down and relax.
Unfortunately it was the innocent man that was killed. 2 days before Christmas and on his birthday. Please pray for my family at this very difficult time.
Wow that's very unfortunate so sorry to hear that. It's a shame there was no reason for them to be driving the way he was. I was hoping he would of gotten pulled over before something this tragic happen
1:46 this breaks my heart, I sincerely do pray for you and your family, this is not fair.
Sorry to hear about this. I see this type of driving everyday. One reason I feel police should be in motion on the roads instead of the tax collecting speed traps the state makes them set up.
421. Um, if there was a speed trap on 13, one like people like you complain about, dont YOU think that just maybe this person could have been stopped?
The passenger was an innocent victim too. He died as well. So sorry for families of both victims.
The passenger died too. He was from OC and was working a kiosk in Salisbury. He is an innocent victim too.

I didn't see anywhere it said anyone was speeding. Do you know something or you working the crystal ball again?
He was definitely speeding and whipping back and forth changing lanes as I stated on my story above had to be doing everybit of 80 or 90 at one point when he got around me.
