Why does all the Media keep
Why does all the Media keep saying that the Driver of the truck has minor injuries? He substained severe burns and had surgery on March 31. He will have another surgery on April 2. That doesn't sound like minor injuries. The driver actually drove the truck off the bridge while on fire to save others still on the bridge. He then vacated the truck after it was in a safer location.
Dear Jim, Thank you for
