Had to be a gut wretching decision on the part of the truck driver.... give in to the natural local instinct to run and on the other hand , the truck was carrying wine and liquor. The article didn't say if any of the truck contents were missing ...... whattya think.....little for injury & medicinal purposes maybe ???
