Yup, my father drives semi’s hauling cargo, and he’s seen and told me of the number of horrific accidents that happen. We live in the same city and if he tells me of a recent accident he’s seen, it almost never is reported through the news, but that could be biased since I don’t search all of the news sites for it. But when a semi ploughs through a line of cars, killing several people on the freeway that were stopped from a previous accident ahead of them, I would expect to see it on most local stations…but it wasn’t. Similar accident with long team haulers, driver fell asleep at wheel hit another semi from behind, destroyed the truck killing both, my father said as he drove by the accident he could see body parts strewn along the road. So, so many stories.
PS all this has me extreme vigilant and paranoid when driving around semi’s on the freeway, especially those people who can’t pass a semi and just hang out next to them matching their speed when I’m trying to get around them too
Like any recurring events it’s boring reporting every deadly event in a city. Like suicides or school shooting. Next your going to want the wether to be news or sporting events to end every news show. Should they hire a different person to explain eather of these things.

Car companies don’t want their advertisement to be muddled by car crashes.
