Is cement mixers falling on cars becoming epidemic?
BOTH cement truck accidents were the same company! USA Cement Company. And BOTH drivers were cited for the same offenses: speeding & running a red light. I think that there’s a pattern developing. I wonder if there were other similar accidents that didn’t make the news?
Just read the report on WSB. Sounds like eerily similar circumstances…cement truck was traveling too fast, runs red light, swerves to avoid car turning into the lane, then tips over.
Weeeeeeird. Just too weird!

I will not pull up next to any cement mixers. ever.
When ABC news tonight started on a story about cement truck turning over on a car in Atlanta, I asked myself “which one?”
Also, WSB did some live shots from N Decatur and Superior this morning, as a result of dashcam video of a school bus running the light.
Around 9 pm Tue. a DeKalb Emergency vehicle ran that light on N. Decatur going east. Drumming up business?
Now I have to add cement trucks to my list of scary drivers, right after tow trucks and anybody entering Patel Plaza just after turning left from Lawrenceville Highway.
