Does the tanker have enough monitoring equipment (if it is the new spec tanker) to determine what happened to a greater degree of certainty !

Wait for the call 'use rail get the Juggernauts off the road they hold me up'. Dangerous job driving tankers, poor bugger.

Just to put the story strait, The farmer who lives just down the road was first on the scene, He said the driver was still in the cab / seat at that time. Once again the media got it all wrong ! The driver suffered a massive heart attack and had died before the truck crashed into the ditch.

Thanks bundy, truck accidents always make me sad as I am married to one. The majority we know are extremely professional and speculation hurts, media suck and it is very seldom we hear the real/honest reason behind the tragedy.The media are just after the sensationalism.

A mate used to work for Fonterra. One early morning he was hit from behind by a cupla dickheads, pissed, high speed, in the wet. Destoyed the VL they were in, parts all over the place, bloody lucky to live! Of course, the headlines read, crash between Fonterra truck and car.
