    Probably a 99er. You people are so old. Just sit and watch judge shows all day and let us run the town. You can buy khaki pants online, no need for the JC Penny sale.

    No way, 99ers drive Gravel trucks!

    I try to catch up with DD when he vrooms down MoPac in his Ferrari Enzo.

    Austin traffic sucks! I'm glad this wreck wasn't more serious.

    Haha, on a side note lately I don't even bother with Mopac unless necessary... I mean it's crazy but 35 has been better which is obviously a mess. So that Ferrari must be in a parking lot of traffic :)

    From update I heard on news everyone survived, 4 patients with non-life threatening injuries took trip to hospital. I really don't know how, could have been hell of a lot worse.

    That's terrible. He should have stopped at the light even if he was in a rush. No one is above the law, especially truck drivers.

    This accident happened coming out of my neighborhood. This light is at the bottom of Jester hill and apparently the truck brakes failed. It's a miracle that no one died.
