Today’s Louisville Courier-Journal carries the poignant story of two truck drivers. One was a Good Samaritan who stopped to help a motorist in distress. The other, an apparently drowsy trucker whose hours of service could not be documented because no logs were found, drifted off the highway as if he were exiting a freeway. The drowsy trucker struck and killed the Good Samaritan trucker.
This story is so starkly eloquent that no elaboration is needed.
