Reply to comment by Pappyjang in Bridge Painter dies after Semi- crashes into the bucket lift by [deleted]

This sounds like it has way more to do with poor safety practices and almost nothing to do with shitty drivers

Read the article - it says the truck was parked in the left lane, which was closed, and the boom was extended over the right lane, which was open. Big no-no. Semis, regardless of speed, don't stop on a dime, and at that time of day, lighting is poor. This is bad safety practice on the part of the worker(s) for putting someone in the path of danger, a truck was bound to hit him in that position.
