My prayers go out to Craigs family and friends. This is a terrible thing that happened. I feel for the Tanker Driver and pray for him as well. Can you imagine the fear of knowing you are going to be in an accident that is not your fault, but knowing that more than likely, due to the speed of the pickup and massive size of the Tanker that it will end in a tragedy. I came up on the wreck shortly after it happend, the Tanker was in his own lane with skid marks going for 10 feet in his own lane. Absolutely nothing he could have done to prevent it. GOD be with these families. Craig, you will be terribly missed!!!

Craig was such a nice person, and I'm sure the other driver will need our prayers. How does a mommy tell her boys and will the little one understand where daddy is. How does a father and mother keep on going. Thoughts and prayers are with all involved.
